How can you fight food poisoning?

Answer 1

By keeping your foods where it belongs. Example : refrigerator foods belong in the refrigerator. If you don't know what kind of foods belong in the refrigerator it should have a labeling on the cover. Or else ask someone. and also keep meat away from vegetables and before eating anything make sure you read the label of the expiration date. If it is passed its due date. Don't ever eat it. It will cause you to have a stomach ache and food poisoning and throwing up. The new foods you buy from the store. Storage it in the back of the cabinet. So then the ones that are already bought would last longer. The ones that are close to expiration date then you can still eat before it over dues.

Answer 2

None.

No medicines will help with Food Poisoning, however, if you/the patient has diorrhea it is sensible to use Pepto-Bismal.

The Symptoms Of Food Poisoning Are:

[Common]

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Stomach Cramps

• Abdominal pains

• Loss Of Appetite

Taking any other medicine will not make any symptoms go away any quicker - what ever you put in your / the patients stomach is only going to be forced out, one end or the other.

Answer 3

Give them Imodium to help with the diarrhea, give them plenty of liquids to keep them from getting dehydrated (I recommend chicken soup), and get out of their way when they have to puke (and they will...a lot).

Answer 4

Prevention is key: Keep cold foods cold, hot foods hot. Never risk eating "old" food, even if kept cold. Once you have food poisoning, just ride it out. As soon as possible, take small sips of Ginger Ale; begin replacing fluids. Children and babies can become quickly dehydrated.

Answer 5

If you do get food poisoning, you will know, because you will be vomiting uncontrollably. But because of the vomiting, treating food poisoning is usually unrequited as you will be expelling everything you ate.
