Are Vomiting And Diarrhea Symptoms Of Food Poisoning?

Hi -on Sunday I ate lasagna that was 4 days old. Two hours later I vomited. Since then stools have been soft and I have had chills and body aches. No fever. Today I had diarrhea and still feel cold and aches. Just wondered if I have food poisoning or a virus. Many thanks m

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
You guess is right that the symptoms you are experiencing is due to food poisoning as you have eaten food which was 4 days old.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Take Tablet. Domperidone before food to overcome vomiting.
2. Take a course of antibiotics containing Ofloxacin and Ornidazole to counter diarrhoea.
3. Drink plenty of water and consume Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome from it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
