Sounds like flu to me. I had it over Christmas a few years ago. Make sure not too touch any food cos it can spread pretty easy. Don't eat too much and keep your fluids up. Keep a bucket handy though... The last few days usually involve a little bit of vomiting... And an upset stomach... In most cases people will feel better within 4-7 days. If after about a week the symptoms are still there, I'd contact a doctor to get some antibiotics of some kind.. Until then just rest and make sure you have plenty of water and kept in warm conditions.

The symptoms from the most common types of food poisoning generally start within 2 to 6 hours of eating the food responsible. That time may be longer (even a number of days) or shorter, depending on the toxin or organism responsible for the food poisoning. The possible symptoms include:

Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal cramps
Diarrhea (may be bloody)
Fever and chills
Weakness (may be serious and lead to respiratory arrest, as in the case of botulism)
Headache

Treatment

You will usually recover from the most common types of food poisoning within a couple of days. The goal is to make you feel better and avoid dehydration. Drink any fluid (except milk or caffeinated beverages) to replace fluids lost by diarrhea and vomiting. Children should be given an electrolyte sold in drugstores. Don't eat solid foods until the diarrhea has passed, and avoid dairy, which can worsen diarrhea.

If you have diarrhea and are unable to drink fluids (for example, due to nausea or vomiting), you may need medical attention and intravenous fluids. This is especially true for young children. If you take diuretics, you need to manage diarrhea carefully. Talk to your doctor -- you may need to stop taking the diuretic while you have the diarrhea. Medications should NEVER be stopped or changed without discussing with your doctor and getting specific instructions.

For the most common causes of food poisoning, your doctor would NOT prescribe antibiotics. Antibiotics can actually prolong diarrhea and keep the organism in your body longer.

If you have eaten toxins from mushrooms or shellfish, you will need to be seen right away. The emergency room doctor will take steps to empty out your stomach and remove the toxin.

You probably have a fever, take a couple of tylenol or ibuprophen get under the covers and get some rest. If your stomach hurts try to eat some soup (broth soup) or toast. Drink plenty of liquids so you don't get dehydrayted. Sounds like the stomach flu. Get Well!

It's a fever brought on by an infection probably, just turn up the central heating and get to bed.
