Food Poisoning

Overview

Symptoms of food poisoning often include upset stomach, diarrhoea and vomiting, which usually start within hours or several days of eating the contaminated or spoilt food. Ensuring adequate hydration is very crucial. At Srinivasa Hospital, treatment involves intravenous fluids to address dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Medications are administered to control symptoms and antibiotics for bacterial infections. Patients are monitored for complications like kidney issues or severe dehydration. Blood and stool samples are tested to identify the cause and prevent further health issues.
