Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about 39 years old female patient had abdominal cramps - vomited clear fluid, normal stools, treated for suspected food
poisoning on May 2. On
Metronidazole, sent home, had rigors on May 3 but no diarrhea and vomiting, has weakness, Recommended to start Ciproflxacin by a Doctor friend, watery diarrhea once since then,
excessive sweating, wants to know whether this is due to medication or food poisoning...
As per the history you have provided, this looks to be food poisoning for which you should have started on antibiotic far before.
I would advise you the following:
Watch for any other symptoms of reaction like skin eruptions.
Send sample of stool and blood for tests and for
blood culture and sensitivity.
Continue Metronidazole and
Ciprofloxacin as before.
Tale probiotics and multivitamins
Take curds/yogurt and bananas.
Clinical re-evaluation by a Doctor and additional treatment if any as needed.
