Suggest Remedy For Bloating And Vomiting After Eating Restaurant Food

Husband ate lunch at local Mexican restaurant Within one hour felt bloating and very full, then became nauseous. Vomiting and diarrhea at the same time about 12 hours later with soaking sweat but feeling hot. Now two days later he feels weak, light headed, an still not eating much. Is this likely to be food poisoning and what should he do. I worry he may be dehydrated. He is 71 years old and in good health otherwise.

Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

It seems like a staphylococcal or bacillus food poisoning, maybe staphylococcal. If you have not taken antibiotics, do the following-
Take tab ofloxacin-ornidazole twice daily for 5 days.
Tab ondansetran for vomiting when needed.
Take ORS solution when needed in sips.
Take soft or semiliquid diet for 2 days, then non spicy diet.

Hope this was helpful.
Contact me for further queries.
Regards
