Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
For fever you can take paracetamol. It can be taken every 4-6 hours ,if needed.
Other most important part of treatment is to avoid dehydration.
Take plenty of oral fluids like ORS,coconut water,lemon water etc.
In food poisoning or gastroenteritis,it is loss of water which causes problem and complications. Once you take adequate amount of fluids, complications can be avoided.
It is good that you are not having vomits. Vomiting makes one avoid taking fluids orally and in such an event,then intravenous fluids need to be given.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
