Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning Along With Abdominal Pain

Friday night I got food poisoning, was vomiting and had diarrhea all night. Saturday, my body was exhausted and I had light abdominal pain but I was feeling better. Sunday I thought I was back to normal but after I ate a meal I got really sick again. Besides puking and diarrhea I started bleeding when I peed. I am on the pill, take it everyday, and shouldn t have my period for another week and a half. At first the blood was light and a dark color, but today it is heavier and reder. I ve looked online and saw that this has happened to other women with food poisioning. At what point should I be alarmed and go to a doctor?

Hi,

If your condition doesn't improve on its own and you continue to have diarrhea and vomiting more than 2 to 3 times then you must visit the doctor. You can take a course of antibiotic like ciprofloxacin for a period of 5 days along with tablet ranitidine and ondansetron under the guidance of a physician, if it doesn't improve.

You must drink plenty of water along with salt and sugar to avoid dehydration. Water in any kind with electrolytes will help you. Food poisoning would not lead to menstrual irregularity and it would be a coincidence. You can review that condition with your treating gynecologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
