Food
poisoning is one of the consequences of eating contaminated food or not cooking
food properly. Most food poisoning causes gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis
means inflammation of the stomach and intestines, which can cause vomiting and
diarrhea.
Most food
poisoning works without going to the doctor. You can heal on your own by
following certain things. However, if the body loses a lot of fluid and suffers
from dehydration, it will have to go to Ivy hospital. Ivy will quickly
replace fluids and minerals in the body.
Antibiotics
maybe needed for acute food poisoning caused by bacteria such as Listeria. But
most bacteria do not require medication unless the patient's immune system is
weakened or she is not pregnant. Medication may also be required for food poisoning
caused by parasites. But if it is due to a virus, no medicine is needed.
Symptoms of
food poisoning
Signs or
symptoms of food poisoning can range from very mild to severe. Mild symptoms
may include general abdominal pain, while severe symptoms may include fever and
intermittent diarrhea. Significant food poisoninsymptoms g are nausea or
vomiting, abdominal pain or stomach cramps, and thin stools. Frequent vomiting,
thin stools, abdominal pain, and fever after eating open food, spoiled food,
stale food, and other unhealthy foods can lead to food poisoning.
Food
poisoning is a household chore
The main thing to do in the food poisoning problem is to drink plenty of water. Rosaline
should also be taken to replace the minerals that are excreted from the body.
If possible, drink coconut water. What else to do-
* Do not eat
food for the first few hours to calm the stomach.
* If you
feel the stomach is calm, you can eat food. Start with a small meal.
* Stay away
from spicy or fatty foods. At this time, stay on a bland diet, such as rice,
toast, and banana.
* At this
time, avoid dairy foods, caffeinated beverages, alcohol, and bubbles.
* Refrain
from manual labor. Get plenty of rest.
* Do not
take OTC medicine to stop thin stools. Let the germs pass out of the body
through diarrhea as part of the natural healing process.
