Many cases of food poisoning happen around us. Early symptoms arising from poisoning include vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Usually this happens after 48 hours after consuming poisonous food. Fever, chills, dehydration, bloody stools, and nervous system damage are possible side effects that will arise as a result of food poisoning. It is not permissible not have to know food poisoning treatment as soon as possible.

Treatment Of Food Poisoning

Before we discuss about food poisoning treatment, it is better you know about food poisoning causes. There are two causes of food poisoning, such as infection and food poisoning. Usually viruses, bacteria and parasites are the cause of food poisoning. But in other hand, poor sanitation and preparation is a major food poisoning causes. And the right temperature in storing food is considered important for food poisoning treatment.

Putting fluids back in the body (rehydration process) through an intravenous line or by drinking are the first aid for food poisoning treatment. You may need to be admitted to the hospital. This depends on your response to therapy, the severity of the dehydration and ability in drinking fluids without vomiting.

• Antivomiting and diarrhea medications may be given.
• The doctor may also treat any fever to make you more comfortable.
• Antibiotics are rarely needed for food poisoning. In some cases, antibiotics would worsen the condition. Only a few specific causes of food poisoning are improved by using these medications. The length of illness with traveler’s diarrhea (shigellae) can be decreased with antibiotics, but this specific illness usually runs its course and improves without treatment.
• With mushroom poisoning or eating foods contaminated with pesticides, aggressive treatment may include pumping the stomach (lavage) or giving medications as antidotes. These poisonings are very serious and may require intensive care in the hospital.
