Patient's question:
Today at noon, I might have eaten some expired food for dinner, and then I vomited all afternoon. It felt like I was about to vomit bile, but at night, my stomach and intestines were in severe pain, as if I had acute gastroenteritis. I'm wondering, what should I do if food poisoning causes acute gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Food poisoning leading to acute gastroenteritis can easily cause symptoms such as increased bowel movements, abdominal pain, and a rise in body temperature. Intravenous fluid can be used to replenish fluids, and anti-inflammatory drugs for the intestines should also be administered for treatment. If the body temperature rises, physical methods can be used to reduce fever. It is important to pay attention to dietary hygiene to prevent bacterial transmission from recurring.
