What sickness could this be?
My GF recently got sick, [b]and we plan to bring her to the hospital asap tomorrow morning[/b], and she has been throwing up, had a slight (100.6 which recently went down to 99.6) fever and she spoke of tingly/numb hands/finger tips. A few people in my town/area have been getting the flu but tingly hands doesn't seem normal for that.
What could this be?

Well it's either a bacteria or virus that's causing this. And if you want to take a shot in the dark, give her any penicillin medicine.
If she doesn't get better, it's a virus and can't be treated. So I would suggest resting for a couple of days for the body to get better.
I'm having the same thing. Family clinic says it could be allergies causing me to be sick.
I agree that it doesn't sound like it requires a visit to the ER, especially if her fever has gone down already. If the vomiting persists and she doesn't start feeling better within a day or two, then she should be checked out by a doctor. The tingling hands could also be a symptom of dehydration, or might just be part of her body's response to the whole vomiting process. I know my hands get really sweaty and numb when I get sick. Be sure she knows to sip water or other light liquids as soon as she can keep that down, in order to rehydrate.
Doesn't sound like something you should be going to the ER for. Maybe a clinic or family doctor? Sounds like it's just a bug. The tingling/numbness is usually caused by hyperventilating.
The doctors will tell you after they run the necessary tests. you shouldnt ask such questions here.
She doesn't need to go to the hospital
I think it's the flu but im not sure. I usually get tingly fingers when I vomit
Here is my long shot medical diagnose - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_fever

Was this like a one time instance, or has this been going on for a while now?
Fever = inflammation and tingly fingers = nerve pressure.
So there could be a relation here.
Sounds like pregnancy.
You go to the hospital when you're sick? I just stay home and puke in a bucket and/or sleep.
