Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your query and concern.

As per your clinical history this most probably seems to be a case of food poisoning.

This could have been bacterial in origin -moderate Gastroenteritis.

Since this process of indigestion is associated with crampy pain abdomen, i suggest you be put on antibiotics to hasten the clinical recovery.

Antibiotics like Ofloxacin and Ornidazole 400 mg twice a day,for 5-7 days is all that is enough.

Drink plenty of fluids 3-4 liters or electrobion solution 4 glasses/day to prevent dehydration and electrolyte loss.

Please note all the above the drugs should be taken in presence of strict medical prescription.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
