Awww honey. Sorry to hear that. My husband was just sick throughout the holidays!!! It was the flu. I was sick prior to Christmas and got over it quickly--no flu shot.

Do you have a temperature? You should drink PLENTY of fluids and take a pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetometophin. If you cannot hold anything down or if you have diarrhea, go to the doctor. Either way, you need LOTS of liquids, such as water and Gatorade to replace the electrolytes lost.

Then, you need to rest by "swaddling" to sweat it out. And try some broth when you are ready to eat.
