Treatment oF food poisoning

You will usually recover from the most common types of food poisoning within a couple of days. The goal is to make you feel better and avoid dehidrations.
  • Don't eat solid foods until the diarrhea has passed, and avoid dairy products, which can worsen diarrhea (due to a temporary state of lactose intolerance).
  • Drink any fluid (except milk or caffeinated beverages) to replace fluids lost by diarrhea and vomiting.
  • Give children an electrolyte solution sold in drugstores.
If you have diarrhea and are unable to drink fluids (for example, due to nausea or vomiting), you may need medical attention and fluids given through a vein (by IV). This is especially true for young children.
