Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Symptoms of food poisoning can last some days. Replenishing water and electrolytes should be done. You can take ORS, tender coconut etc. Puting hot water bags on abdomen will be soothing. You can take rice , kefir or curd , bananas etc. Probiotics also will be helpful. But if no improvement then consult your doctor. In such case i usually advise proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole , anti spastics like dicyclomine and antibiotics if required. In case of excessive dehydration intravenous fluid administration also will be necessary.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
