Hi
Food poisoning is more common after taking outside food,refrigerated food.
If there is vomiting or loose stools 6-24hours after eating,then it could be food poisoning.
He should be given medicines in injection form if he has vomiting.
If there is no vomiting,then Tablet ofloxacin with ornidazole,Rabeprazole with domperidone capsule,Pre and probiotic capsule should be given.
Nothing to worry.
Wish him good health
Regards

The food was injested at 6:30 and at 9pm, the loose stool was followed by vomiting after 10 minutes. A similar incident just happened at about 11:15 pm. When should this stop? How long should I expect this to continue?

Hi
Treatment should be started immediately.
Otherwise it will continue
It will take 2 -3 days for complete control.
As he is having vomiting,it is better to give medicines in injection form.
Wish him speedy recovery
Regards
