How Can Food Poisoning Along With Chills And Fever Be Treated?
Hello. Yesterday, I felt generally fine (other than a little heartburn from eating too much holiday food). However, I woke up at 3:00 this morning and had severe diarrhea and vomiting. I have vomited and had diarrhea five times since this morning, have had some dry heaves, chills, a headache, and a temperature of 100.5. My husband got me some ginger ale, Dramamine Ginger for the vomiting, and Immodium AD. I feel miserable, and I wondered if there were anything else I can do to feel better. Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Food poisoning means intestinal infection due to infected food. Your all symptoms are suggestive of severe food poisoning. In my opinion, you should visit emergency room and start Intravenous treatment in the form of antibiotic, fluids, probiotic drugs. I don't think home treatment will give you faster relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
