Pill and Being Sick

I know that you if you vomit or have diarhea within 2 hours of taking the pill that it's considered a missed pill. Can you take another pill? Say you get sick 1 hour after taking the pill and start to feel better.

I got sick 2 weeks ago about a hour after taking the pill (diarhea). But, I started to feel better. I did make sure not to have sex for at least one week after that. But, I was wondering in case that happens again.

This happened on a Sunday (my first day of my last week of active pills). Last week, I was on my placebo week and did get my period. Yesterday, I just started my first week of active pills. Do I need to use a back-up? I had taken Mon-Sat of active pills before the placebo and then yesterday and today for the 1st week of active pills.
