Started Loose Motions And Vomiting. Took An Emergency Injection And Some Tablets. Food Poisoning?
Question: Hello,
My brother started to show symptoms of food poisoning by puking once and have had very bad loose motion since then. In less than 10 minutes after he eats or drinks anything, he ends up going to the toilet. The stool is completely watery and looks black/brown in appearance. He has been taken to a couple of doctors who gave him an emergency injection and some tablets. The injection prevented him from having the loose motion for a few hours but now after the effect of injection is gone, he is still having the issues. He also had taken tablets similar to lomotil. He had slight fever too once in a while.

Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
you seem to be suffering from food poising which may be caused by bacteria,virus or parasites.
Take some OTC antispasmodic medicine for your pain abdomen if any and take plenty of oral fluids and rest.
Normally all these symptoms,which you are suffering from,become alright with rest and plenty of oral fluids.Once the infection in the stool is flushed out,you become alright.
You should be alright in next couple of days.
If your condition worsens or you develop severe vomiting or develop high fever,then you should not wait and go to ER immediately as that is the indication for intravenous fluids and possible antibiotics.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck

Currently, he is taking Ciplox TZ & Enero Quinol. He also got an injection from the doctor. He has been drinking a lot of water, glucose, ORS and tender coconut water. However, whatever he takes, he needs to rush to the toilet. He does not have fever or vomiting, and is not as tired as he was yesterday.
Hello
Continue the treatment as advised.
You may add some probiotic like DAROLAC sachets twice a day for few days to be taken with water after your meals.
