Symptom 6: Muscle Aches – The All-Over Discomfort
Muscle aches and pains may be experienced during food poisoning, as your body works to combat the infection. These aches can be widespread or localized to specific muscle groups and can range from mild to severe.
Staying well-hydrated and using over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can help manage muscle aches. Additionally, gentle stretching and applying heat or cold packs to the affected areas may provide relief. Consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication or using any home remedies to ensure safety and efficacy.
