Suggest Treatment For Vomiting, Diarrhea And Bloating
Hi i'm 26 years old, 5'9, and 128 lbs. I suspect I had food poisoning, my symptoms started at 6 am on sunday (diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, nausea). It is now tuesday, vomiting and diarrhea have subsided but I still feel sick to my stomach and now I feel extremely bloated, having sharp lower abdominal pain, and my lower back hurts, what should I do?

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
I understand your concern. Some advice that I can give you are :
1) Drink a large amount of clear fluids to remain hydrated but consume it in small sips at a time.
2) Avoid solid foods of any kind until vomiting stops.
3) Avoid using medications that may upset your stomach, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids.
4) Take probiotics for the diarrhea.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to help.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
