Are Frequent Diarrhea And Vomiting Caused Due To Food Poisoning?

I wonder if I have food poisoning. Saturday evening I ate a chicken sandwich from a fast food restaurant. When I returned to work my stomach started feeling upset. Before leaving work I used the restroom where I had runny stool. During the night I had several bouts of diarrhea and vomited once. The diarrhea has continued through today. Is this some type of food poisoning.

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of vomiting and loose motions after eating chicken sandwich seems to be due to FOOD POISONING..

It commonly occurs due to contamination of the animals with toxic chemicals, bacteria, viruses, parasites etc..
It causes when such contaminated food is consumed leading to the symptoms like that you are experiencing..

As of now I would suggest you to take Ondensarton for relieving vomiting and Loperamide for loose motions..
Take proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole for reducing acidity..
Take plenty of fluids and oral rehydration salts..
Do not starve and eat every after 2 to 3 hours and take more of banana, cereals, yoghurt, rice etc..
In case if condition worsen or there is no improvement consult an Emergency care centre and you can be given antibiotics, anti parasitic drugs , intra venous fluids etc depending upon the cause of the symptoms..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
