Rest and a lot of fluids is the best solution.

You might want to see a doctor, I suspect you have E. coli poisoning.

What do I do if I or someone in my family gets sick after eating hamburger or something else - or for that matter, just gets sick?

No matter when, - if diarrhea occurs, always pay close attention to the symptoms... look for the presence of fever, vomiting, etc., particularly if the person is an infant, a small child, or an elderly or infirm adult. Look for any signs of blood in the stool. If you see anything that worries you, call your physician immediately - don't worry about the possibility of being mistaken and perhaps looking "silly." The organism is difficult to identify [recommended method is to use a genetic probe - associates with the toxin's(s) gene sequence(s)] - so - be as patient as possible - treatment will be given for the symptoms and treatment will be given to help rid the person of the infection.

How long does it take for any symptoms to appear?

Well, the answer to this question is a tough one. There are many things which may influence the onset of symptoms for this particular disease. Symptoms may appear within hours or may appear only after several days. It is for this reason that if diarrhea occurs, one should examine the stool for blood, and pay attention to any other symptoms which may occur, particularly if the person affected is a young child, is elderly, or is infirm in any way. The following are some of the things which can influence the time it takes for symptoms to occur:

(1) The actual number of organisms ingested - the higher the number ingested, the sooner the possibility for symptoms (the relatively greater concentration of toxin made).
(2) The health status of the individual - the weaker or less healthy, the sooner the possibility for symptoms.
(3) The individual's natural resistance to either (a) the growth of the organism within the intestine, or (b) the effect of the toxin itself. Different people may respond differently.

Usually, the disease is self-resolving (means that the disease clears "on its own") within about 8 days or so. However, as stated above, if any blood appears in the stool, or if watery diarrhea appears in an infant or a small child, one should immediately contact one's physician and describe the symptoms as accurately as possible. Whether or not E. coli O157:H7 is involved, diarrhea for any reason in a little kid can potentially be dangerous - so - discuss the symptoms with your physician if you are the least bit concerned.

I got stomach virus before too, the doctor tell me to drink........ 7-UP

You probably ate a fly's poop, which if is the case isnt particularly dangerous. That usually causes some major diarrhea and alot of stomach upset, but its safer to get yourself checked up anyway...
My record was 18 times a day.
