what can you do for food poisoning beside going to the doctor?

Answer 1

The reason you vomit and have diarrhea is because that is your body's way of getting rid of "the bad stuff" (microbes that are harmful to your body). All you can do is let it pass, try to hydrate yourself, don't drink juices as the sugars in juices may cause you to go to the bathroom more. and slowly introduce foods as your feel you can tolerate them. If it persists for longer than 3 days then you may want to go to the ER.

Answer 2

You can avoid taking Kaopectate or any other antidiarrheal. Let yourself vomit. Your system is working to rid itself of (most likely) a bacteria. Don't interefere with this. Replace fluids with water and stick to clear soups, broths, and jello (for example) until stools are more solid and formed and vomiting has stopped. Introduce soft foods as tolerated and gradually advance to a regular diet. And get plenty of rest.

Answer 3

There's really nothing a doctor or hospital can do for you except give you medicine to stop the vomiting and diarrhea. Sometimes they give you IV fluids if you're dehydrated.

Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is ride it out and let it take it's course.

Force fluids (if possible) and take antidiarrheal medicine if necessary.

Answer 4

Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Try your best to eat something light, don't over do it. If you start running fever, you may need to go and see a doctor. Best of luck to you.
