Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I will surely help you out. From the symptoms you have described, you most probably have food poisoning. So, for vomiting and nausea, you need Ondansetron or Domperidone.

For fever, Paracetamol will suffice, and for body ache, you should take Diclofenac with Ranitidine. Also, you need antibiotics to be started. Empirical antibiotics such as Ofloxacin and Ornidazole will help, but for a definitive antibiotic use, stool culture and sensitivity are required.

If you get repeatedinfectiono,n then some serology testing and anti-parasite drugs are required. There is no specific type of fever in food poisoning, but for details, you can visit a nearby hospital and get your workup done, and the attending doctor will help you out with more details.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
