Been ill & now can't tolerate food!

Looking for some advice if possible. I've been ill for the past 4-5 days, not really eaten many solids (severe tonsillitis with fever etc - hurt to swallow etc).
Felt a little better last night so ate some raspberries - big mistake, had a very poorly tummy and several trips to the loo last night/this morning. Tried to eat something bland this morning, the same thing happened!
I feel very weak, but that's probably lack of proper food. What can I eat to build up my energy again without it going right through me??

Sorry if tmi.

Tia

I didn't eat when I had glandular fever. The first thing I could tolerate was bananas then toast/porridge.

I'd suggest you drink some sports drinks/isotonic as well.
