Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

Diarrhea associated with fever, chills and body pain are signs of possible viral infection of GI tract.

Headache is due to:
- viral infection
- dehydration/low blood sugar/pressure due to diarrhea

Metrogyl contains the active ingredient Metronidazole, which is a gram-negative antibiotics. It is a good option to treat diarrhea either from virosis or food poisoning.

Your signs are not indicative for food poisoning unless they started right after eating certain food (that might have been bad).

Keep in mind to keep well hydrated!
Wish fast recovery!
