Is Doctor Consultation Advisable For Food Poisoning From Fish?
I think I contracted food poisoning last night. Possibly from sushi. I feel a little better now but had diarreha and vomiting three times starting around 3:00am, every two hours or so. Now it is just an occasional diarreha. It alarmed me when I read seek immediate care if you have food poisoning from fish. Please comment...thanks Tim Seek care immediately if you have: Food poisoning from fish, botulism, or mushrooms
You are having food toxin induce gastroenteritis as per history
Initially if Symptomatic management help than no need for antibiotic usage
If condition not improve than stool examination done and if it seems bacterial than only suitable broad spectrum antibiotic given like ofloxacin and ornidazole combination drug
