What Causes Headache And Vomiting After Food Poisoning?

I have been throwing up/diarriah since 3am with very painful cramps and head aches over the last few days. I figured the head aches were from heat stroke and I had food poisoning. I m taking metronidazole for 7 days. This is supposed to be my 5th day but with feeling so sick I can t eat to be able to take them with food and I m not sure what to do.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Food poisoning produce diarrhea and vomiting that lead to dehydration.
And because of dehydration it also cause headache and dizziness like symptoms.
Better management should be done by consulting the MD physician after proper evaluation of the dehydration signs and symptoms.
As a treating physician, I will give following advises.
Finish the metronidazole.
Tablet vabact-ds.
Stay calm and ORS solution to maintain the hydration.
Take boiled rice with added salt and lemon
Tablet pantoprazole plus domperidone on empty stomach
Taken more chicken breast soups, yogurt,curd rice, banana, applesauce and toast (BRAT diet).
Hope this may help you
