Food Poisoning: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

What Are The Treatments?

It is commonly advised to:

  • Rest. Even after feeling like all the symptoms are gone, it is advised to have at least one more rest day. The body may still be fragile, even after fighting off the main pathogens.
  • Rehydration. Drink regularly, in small quantities. Water, tea and broth are recommended.
  • Stick to plain food (white rice, pasta, etc.).
  • Anti motility medicine.
  • Painkillers.
  • Keep an eye on new symptoms.
  • Specific treatment, such as antibiotics in case of bacterial infection.
  • Hospitalization may be considered in severe cases (especially in cases of food poisoning of toxic origin) and for fragile patients.

Most food poisoning cases disappear on their own.
