Food Poisoning Symptoms

Food poisoning symptoms can be anywhere from mild to very serious. Your symptoms may be different depending on the germ you swallowed. The most common symptoms of food poisoning are:

  • Upset stomach
  • Stomach cramps
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Fever

After you swallow an unsafe (contaminated) food or drink, it may take hours or days to develop symptoms. If you have symptoms of food poisoning, such as diarrhea or vomiting, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration (not having enough water in your body).

Higher temperatures cause germs to grow faster, including viruses and bacteria, which can make food spoil more easily. In addition, unclean food and drinks are the reasons why children are more susceptible to diarrhea and food poisoning.

  • Symptoms : Abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, watery stools 3 times or more in 1 day. If the symptoms are severe, there may be bloody mucus in the stool. If it is caused by bacteria, antibiotics should be taken. Therefore, you should see a doctor immediately to find the cause.
  • Treatment: Drink mineral water to compensate for dehydration and electrolytes. Treat symptoms such as anti-vomiting and stomachache medications. However, do not take anti-diarrhea medications because they will คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย remove toxins from the digestive system. If symptoms do not improve within 1 day, the child should be taken to see a doctor for proper treatment.
  • Prevention: Maintain good hygiene when eating. Choose to eat freshly cooked food, clean drinks, and maintain other hygiene practices such as washing hands frequently, especially before eating and after using the bathroom every time, and always keep children’s belongings clean.
