How Long Does It Take To Recover From Nausea And Bloating After Food Poisoning?

Hi! 5 days ago I went to the hospital with severe stomach pain and vomiting and I was overall just in pain. The dr said I had food poisoning, which make sense because I was sick within an hr of eating. I am taking ciprofloxacin for it. My question is that every time I eat anything I feel extremely full and nauseous. How long does this last?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria, virus,parasite etc.

This infection causes inflammation of stomach and intestinal mucosa leading to nausea and bloating sensations.

Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating like nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance.

As per your symptoms, you could have this gastroenteritis and due to this you might be feel gas trouble or nausea for at least 3 to 4 days even with treatment.

You will require antibiotics, antispasmodics, antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.

So,consult physician who will know about the drug and can prescribe you.
