What Causes Stomach Ache And Pain Under The Ribs After Food Poisoning?
yesterday I ate a burger and within 30 min had a sudden onset of diarrhea it was massive and explosive. I had to totally clean a public bathroom becuase it was everywhere. Anyway I barely made it home before it happen again. More came out that I took in. I didn t eat the rest of the evening and felt very weak. Had a painful tummy last night and my ribs and back were hurting. This morning those places were sore and in the middle of my chest it was sore when I breath in. I m still suffering from the painful ribs especially on the left side and that soreness in the middle of my chest and soreness in my back

Hello,
You need to do following
-Drink oral rehydration solution (ORS - WHO approved) which is prepared by dissolving 1 sachet in 1 liter of drinking water. It should be taken every half an hourly or as much as you can.
-Do not use solution after 24 hours.
-Eat banana and pomegranate to reduce diarrhea frequency.
-Coffee can also reduce diarrhea.
-Get stool routine and microscopic examination done to rule out bacterial or amoebic dysentery.
Both have different antibiotics Ofloxacin and Ornidazole respectively. So, consult the physician after getting investigation reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
