Digestion issues
At around 5 a.m yesterday, I suddenly developed severe abdominal pain, which seemed to be due to food poisoning. I vomited once and passed stools 1–2 times, but the abdominal pain still continued. So I went to the hospital emergency department, where they gave me some medicines through injections/IV. The pain improved after that.
However, after coming home, I started passing small amounts of loose, watery stools frequently, and I also developed a fever, for which I took PCM (paracetamol).
The doctor prescribed Pan-D and Darolac, both twice daily (BD), to take at home. Can I also take Norflox-TZ along with these medicines?

Please do not add Norflox-TZ on your own. In most food poisoning cases the diarrhoea is self-limiting and extra antibiotics only increase nausea and gut upset. Continuing Pan-D and Darolac as your doctor advised is enough, along with ORS, coconut water and light food like curd rice or khichdi. Paracetamol for fever is fine.
