Someone please cure me!

I realize that this will look like another farting thread, which there seems to be a surplus of recently...

But this is actually serious! Friday I took a trip to St. Leo University with my brother and my father. Long story short, I ate too much of the lunch there and pretty much spent the rest of the trip on the couch in the dorm room we were staying in. I couldn't even sleep that night, I kept getting up to go to the bathroom and puke.

It's now Sunday evening. I haven't really gotten better. It feels like someone just punched me really hard in the stomach, and come back regularly to make sure I'm still in pain. Even worse, I've had a cough for like two months, and I don't have the strength to satisfy it.

So does anyone have any advice? Last time I had this kind of stomach cramp was the week of Thanksgiving. Although that one lasted like two days before I got any better. Gingerale seemed to do the trick. However, I think it's become less effective because I drink it on a day to day basis.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thank you, thank you! <takes bow>
There will be a second show at 11:00 EST.


Seriously, my first thought was food poisoning of some kind. It happen to a friend of mine. Took him a couple of days to get back on his feet.

You should at least call your doctor if you feel that bad.
 
Yeah, it might be food poisoning. My father thinks it's a bug. I figured I just ate too much of the food, however it probably shouldn't still hurt today.

I'll try to see a doctor tomorrow if it still hurts. I'm not gonna wait. In the mean time, can anyone recommend any kind of medicine to make me feel better? Or maybe some kind of tea? I'd really like actually consume something because I have this horrible taste in my mouth.
 
I don't think I do. Well, I probably had one on Friday night because I felt really really hot, but I'm fine now. My mom checked twice, first she said I didn't, then she said I had a little bit of a fever.

Hopefully I can wake up early enough to have her call a doctor. Of course, it'd be better if I woke up and didn't need one!
