Hello dear....
The recurrence of symptoms suggest that you might have stopped your medications before the pathology caused by food poisoning got corrected completely.
So....you can take Norflox again.
Also you can add Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day half an hour before meals.
If there is pain in abdomen, Cyclopam tablet can be used twice a day.
Make sure you are taking simple, soft & non-spicy food & maintaining adequate hydration (drink lots of fluid...avoid carbonated drinks & alcohol)
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks and take care.
