I was vomiting last night and this morning and had a bad headache after. I also felt so weak that I didn't go to school today or to tennis practice. And it wasn't a hangover or anything like that because I'm only 15 and don't drink alcohol. What is the best thing to eat or drink after being sick like this?

Soup is great. If you are eating canned soup, try to get a natural one without a lot of salt and chemicals, or try to get some from a restaurant if you don't have anyone to make some for you.

Your possibly dehydrated so the best thing is to keep up your fluids with juice or lemonade, stay away from all dairy products as these will be too heavy for you to take and will curdle in your stomache and make you vomit again. If your feeling hungry just have some dry toast or crackers, maybe get your mum to make up a broth for you which is very easy to digest. I would be going to your local doctor and getting a checkup just to be on the safe side. If you have a bug/virus, he will tell you the same as I have. Just get some rest, take a headache tablet and keep up fluids and keep your food intake to light and easy tgo digest foods. I hope your feeling better really soon

Chicken soup!! Anything that is nutritious (Energy bar, Granola bars) and drink a lot of fluids!!! You are a smart person so do not start drinking!! Other kids jumping off the cliff does not necessary mean you have to do the same! Be smart , be wise, be healthy, be wealthy and be a future Doctor if not a future President! Best wishes.

Don't eat any dairy products or strong-tasting foods, to allow your stomach time to settle. Try eating dry toast and sipping black tea or coffee, or just plain water. Don't eat/drink too quickly, because you might just throw up again.
Water is probably best if you have a headache because you're probably dehydrated. Take some headache tablets, and some indigestion medicine, if your stomach is still feeling funny.

Keep it very light....saltines, gatorade, pedialyte, even jello. I don't recommend chicken soup...most canned soups are full of grease and you want to avoid that. Avoid dairy products. Munch on some plain popcorn, and try and get some apple juice down. FEEL BETTER SOON!!

I have always heard it is the BRAT diet:
Banana
Rice
Apple juice
Tea
Only eat and drink SMALL portions until your stomach feels better and can handle more solid food.

Gatorade. it is a great way to rehydrate. And crackers to eat. they should help calm the stomach.
