HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is just symptoms of diarrhea and nausea then no need to take any medicine, you have not mentioned the symptoms, because it may not be the food poison but could be just condition of dyspepsia, even if it is the food poison then also it just need to be take care for dehydration only the severe condition need hospitalization else the mild case may not need any treatment. hope this information helps.
