Suggest Treatment For Consumption Of Bad Oysters

Question: I am at a seafood resturant and i think i ate bas oysters. What should i do?
Brief Answer:
No need of any prophylaxis
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Oysters can cause food poisoning from bacteria like vibrio,and viruses like noro virus.This is uncommon with well cooked oysters.
Anyhow,there is no need,or use of any prophylactic treatment.Just watch for any symptoms like abdominal pain/nausea/vomiting/loose stools etc.Only if these features set in,we need treatment,which includes antibiotics,prompt replacement of lost fluids by oral fluids(like WHO ORS),anti emetics,simple anlagesics etc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing for everything to be fine,
Thank you.
