Suffering from food poisoning
While traveling back from Chennai, I had food on the highway at 11:00 pm, reached Bangalore at 2:30 am.( couldn't have good sleep in bus).
After reaching Bangalore ...loose motion started.
Next day morning..i.e on Saturday, 10:00 am on waking up..
I was suffering from fever + loose motion.
I had mostly water and khichdi hoping to get recovered...however no improvement. I was taking ORS to replenish water in my body.
On sunday night I took Paracetamol to suppress the fever.
No fever observed till Sunday evening, however loose motion still continued but its not too much.
today evening i felt fever with little shivering...
Since the Doctors are not available becau of Sunday... Could you please suggest medicine to sustain till tomorrow morning
Kindly continue with ORS and paracetamol. You require antibiotics since you developed fever but if your fever has subsided by now you will not require it. The following steps may help
- Aim at drinking a minimum of 3 liters of water alternate between ORS and plain water.
- Do not skip meals, consume a liquid diet consisting of soups and juices and slowly increase the consistency as per how you can tolerate the food.
- Drink lots of coconut water, lime juice, rice starch with salt, plain water
- Rest plenty.
If problems persist or worsen visit the nearest ER
