Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm worried I might have food poisoning, again. I finished eating, and I was pretty full. I had lunch meat that smelt fine but I'm not sure how long it was in the fridge. I had eggs from animals at home, one was dirty on the outside. Within 30 minutes after finishing my meal I my mouth was excessively salivating accompanied with the growing discomfort in my stomach, which soon turned to nausea
Your symptoms according to history suggestive of acute gastric mucosa infection due to some bacterial toxin consumption through the dirty egg. You can be prescribed antibiotic like ciprofloxacin plus metronidazole for 7 days.
I suggest practice following for you.
-Cooked oatmeal in helping soothing stomach.
-Take semisolid and bland diet more.
-Avoid intake of excess spicy foods.
-Drink more water and maintain hydration.
-Avoid smoking if having a habit of it.
You can be prescribed antacid tablet course as well to prevent gastric mucosa damage. I suggest you consult a physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
