Q. I feel nauseous after eating fast food. Is this food poisoning?
Hi doctor,
I had some fast food from the last two days, and I am feeling nauseous. I even vomited once, after which, I felt little better. I am feeling a bit better now, but the vomiting tendency is still there. I am also burping a lot, which has the same taste of the fast food. I do not feel like eating anything at all. I was perfectly fine till yesterday evening. Please suggest some medicines. Is this food poisoning? My body temperature is 99 degrees F. I have grade 3 fatty liver, which was diagnosed last year. I take medications for that, and the SGOT and SGPT parameters were within range.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As per your query, most likely, you have gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is inflammation of gastric mucosa. Most commonly, it is viral.
- Viral gastroenteritis usually limits itself to 7 to 10 days. But in your case, as it is already more than 10 days, I would advise you to go for stool routine and microscopy test to rule out bacterial or protozoal infection. Antibiotics have to be taken if it is bacterial or protozoal enteritis.
- I suggest you do the following:
- Take probiotic twice daily. It heals the disturbed gastric flora, hence making digestion better.
- Take Ispaghula husk (Metamucil) twice daily. It will increase bulk of stool, and you will have normal bowel movements.
- Antispasmodic like Dicyclomine can be taken to decrease the frequency of stools.
- Eat light and easily digestible food.
- Avoid meat.
- Try boiled vegetables with spices and herbs for a week.
- Drink plenty of orange juice and coconut water.
- Keep yourself hydrated.
- I suggest you try taking the following medicines for three days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.
- Tablet Norflox TZ (Norfloxacin and Tinidazole), twice daily.
- Tablet Cibis (combination of Clidinium, Chlordiazepoxide, and Dicyclomine), thrice daily.
- Tablet Dolo (Paracetamol), whenever required.
- Capsule Econorm (Saccharomyces Boulardii) twice daily.
- Capsule Rablet-L (Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride), once daily on an empty stomach.
- ORS (oral rehydration salts).
