This sounds like an infectious gastroenteritis (infection in the stomach and intestines, usually caused by bacteria).
You need to be evaluated by a physician, do blood and stool tests, and in case you have signs of moderate to severe dehydration, you may require intravenous fluids - these will replenish your body fluids and electrolytes and help you recover faster. You will most likely be prescribed a string antibiotic (targets a wide spectrum of bacteria that may cause infectious gastroenteritis) until the tests results are out.

It looks that this is an accute episode of gastrointeritis
>Gastroenteritis is an infection of the gut. It causes diarrhoea, and may also cause vomiting, tummy pain and other symptoms. In most cases the infection clears within a few days, but sometimes takes longer. The main risk is dehydration. The main treatment is to fluids that lowers the risk of dehydration .
A virus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis
Food poisoning (eating food infected with microbes) causes some cases of gastroenteritis. Food poisoning is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Common examples are species of bacteria called Campylobacter, Salmonella and Escherichia coli (usually shortened to E. coli). Toxins (poisons) produced by bacteria can also cause food poisoning. Another group of microbes called parasites can also be a cause of food poisoning.
Water contaminated by bacteria or other microbes (germs) is another common cause, particularly in countries with poor sanitation.
The main symptoms are diarrhoea, often with vomiting as well.
Blood or mucus can appear in the stools with some infections.
Crampy pains in the abdomen (tummy) are common. Pains may ease for a while each time some diarrhoea is passed.
A high temperature (fever), headache and aching limbs sometimes occur.
Diarrhoea and vomiting may cause dehydration (a lack of fluid in the body) especially that you are saying you are vomiting also the water you take ,in this case and to prevent dehydration where you can't take any thing by mouth is to go to the emergency departments to replace the fluids lost by IV that is so important ,
you will have a thourough out examination necessary blood tests and stool test to know the cause if viral or bacterial
and depending on that an antibiotic is given if necessary if a viral infection is suspected then no need for antibiotics .
