Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning

I think I caught food poisoning. Body shivers and chills, fever like feeling. Next two days weakness, chills, lots of diarrhea and painful abdominal cramps along with the sickest looking grainy stool. Then on third day less diarrhea but stool turns to mud like. Not eating anything but still my body is continuously producing. Still cramps abdominal pain and some chills, weakness. What is most likely to be the problem?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

All these symptoms of fever,chills,shivering,abdominal cramps with diarrhoea are indicative of food poisoning.

Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria, virus,parasite etc.

Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating,like nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance.

As per your symptoms, you have this gastroenteritis and will require antibiotics, antispasmodics, antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.There may be need of fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.

So,consult physician for proper treatment.
