Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old female, and over the past 48 hours, I have been dealing with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and a pervasive feeling of weakness and discomfort. These symptoms manifested shortly after consuming a meal at a restaurant and have persisted since then. I did not experience any similar symptoms before this incident. It is concerning that others who dined with me also reported similar symptoms, raising concerns about the safety of the food consumed. The severity of these symptoms has been distressing, prompting my concern about the potential risks associated with food poisoning. Please help.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern about your medical condition, and I am here to assist you.

Based on your symptoms, it seems to be a case of acute food poisoning. I suggest you follow the prescribed medication:

  1. Tablet Simethicone 180 mg: Take orally three times a day.
  2. Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg: Take orally three times a day.
  3. Tablet Hyoscine Butylbromide 10 mg: Take orally twice a day.
  4. Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 mg: Take orally twice a day.
  5. If your symptoms persist, I recommend scheduling another appointment for a follow-up consultation via chat, phone, or video. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to support you.

    Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
