Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
This is Dr.Riyanka answering your query.
I have read your problem and shall try my best to help you out.
If i was your treating physician i would have treated you with :
1. Tablet Norfloxacin- Tinidazole combination twice daily for 10 days(provided
you are not allergic to these antibiotics).This will cure the infection due to
food poisoning.
2. Tablet pantoprazole 40mg (pantoprazole) daily morning atleast half an hour
before breakfast for 7 days. This will reduce gastric acidity.
3. Capsule (LACTOBACILLUS ) twice daily for seven days. This will restore
normal flora of the intestines.
4. You can take Tablet Diclofenac 50mg daily after a good meal (lunch) for the
lower back pain for 5 days.
Since these medications are prescription drugs kindly consult a physician and then take the medication.
Take a bland diet consisting of mashed rice and curd which is easily digestable. Drink soups and lots of fluids . Avoid fatty foods.
Hope this answered your query.
Do write in for more doubts.
