Warm noodles

It was a late autumn day that I noticed the tiny pieces of happiness in my life.
I was suffering from severe upset stomach for two days without knowing exact reasons. I could hardly eat anything because as long as I send some food into my stomach, it would feel an intense pain like my intestines have twisted each other inside then coming with continuous sickness. What worsen my situation was I have to cross through the city to recreate my lost ID card. When I arrived the office centre, the officials sadly informed that I need to fetch my original ID card or citizenship paper at first. That was final thing which really drived me crazy since they didn’t require these papers last time!
What a bad day! Curbing the painful feeling, I had to go back my home with a sank heart. I even didn’t notice that my face were filled with tears and had a runny nose. My mother asked me what happened when she saw me looked like a stray dog. Then I told her my miserable day.(at least I think it is the most awful day of this month). She said nothing and boiled a pot of water to cook a bowl of noodles for me.
When she was cooking, I said “I don’t want to eat anything. I feel sick about food these days especially noodles. Canteen’s noodles should be blamed for.” “at least you should eat something. You shouldn’t eat nothing all day long.” She responded.
The moment When a bowl of noodles with fried eggs and diced tomatoes sitting in front of me, it is weird that I started feel hungry. I could smell the mild aroma of tender eggs mixed with juicy tomatoes, garlics and fresh herbs. The noodle soup was a little sour and sweet, inspiring my appetite. Actually it was a bowl of ordinary noodle but I devoured it. It seems this dish has magic and alleviate my pain and misery at once. 2 hours later, I stopped diarrhoea. Can I call this magic? I suddenly found it was my mother’s sensitive words and behavior that soothe my tense nerve. Thank you my mom.

We use "last straw" in a lot of phrases like this. That was the last straw/the straw the broke the camel's back/I'm on my last straw.

What a bad day!

Curbing the painful feeling, I had to goSuppressing my disappointedness, I went back my home with a sank heart, crestfallen.

The beginning and end of your sentence are at odds with each other. Did you suppress your feelings or were you sad?

I even didn’t notice that my face were filled with tears andtears were streaming down my face, and that I had a runny nose.

My mother asked me what happened when she saw me lookeding like a stray dog.

Then I told her about my miserable day.

(at least, I think, it is the most awful day of this month).

There's a common phrase for what you're trying to say with "inspiring my appetite" here, but I can't remember it.

Actually it was a bowl of ordinary noodles, but I devoured it anyway.

Wait, so it wasn't sweet and sour?

It seems this dish has magic andpowers, because alleviated my pain and misery all at once.

2 hours later, I stoppeno longer had diarrhoea either.

This sentence is a little strange because it implies that you had diarrhea for two hours straight (a.k.a. 两个小时一直上厕所了). My revision changes the meaning so that you discovered 2 hours later that your diarrhea (using American spelling here) had gone away.

Can I call this magic?

I suddenly founrealized it was my mother’s sensitive words and behavior that soothed my tense nerves.

Thank you my, mom.

Curbing the painful feeling, I had to goSuppressing my disappointedness, I went back my home with a sank heart, crestfallen.

In fact, due to diarrhea, I didn't feel well that day. I want to express I was uncomfortable both physically and psychologically. I have to control myself to stand the stomach ache and disappointedness.

You might then just say outright, "Exhausted physically and mentally, I trudged back home, crestfallen." "Trudged" adds a little extra flavor and helps to emphasize how tired/unwell you were.

hhhhhhhh, this kind of nooldes is sweet and sour for we usually add tomatoes and some vinegar. This is a homestyle dishes. Almost every chinese can cook it. We usually called it 番茄鸡蛋面,literally meaning noodles with fried eggs and tomatoes. I said it was ordinary because its taste was common or simple?

哈哈哈没意识到

In English words like ordinary/plain when describing food indicate that there mostly are no extra ingredients. Instead you might say, "Although it was just a simple bowl of (sweet and sour/tomato and egg) noodles, I devoured it all the same." The part in parentheses you could add if you wanted to be extra clear. Common would be not so natural. Simple implies that there's just a few main ingredients, in this case noodles, eggs, tomatoes, vinegar etc.
