Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria, virus,parasite etc.

Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating like nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance.

As per your symptoms, you have this gastroenteritis and will require antibiotics, antispasmodics, antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.

you may also need to take plenty of water with fruit juices to maintain electrolyte balance.

So,consult physician for proper treatment.

Regards,
