Complications of food poisoning.
Patients with severe symptoms, such as persistent diarrhea and vomiting. Who are unable to eat, may be at risk of going into shock because the body lacks water and nutrients for a long time, which is very dangerous for young children, the elderly, and those with underlying diseases. In addition, some germs can affect other organs, such as E. coli, which causes red blood cells to rupture and kidney failure.
Diagnosis of food poisoning
- Stool examination When a patient has a gastrointestinal infection, such as a virus, bacteria, parasite, or fungus, the infection can be detected using a microscope.
- Blood antibody test to check the amount of electrolytes in the blood and kidney function for patients with severe symptoms or dehydration and electrolyte deprivation.
Food poisoning treatment
- Getting enough sleep
- Try to keep your body hydrated, such as drinking small sips of electrolyte water throughout the day. This will help replace the water lost through bowel movements and give your body more energy and a faster recovery.
- Take medication. Taking antidiarrhea medication is appropriate for patients with mild symptoms, but never take medication that stops diarrhea. If you have a fever, take a fever-reducing medication as well.
- Eat easily digestible foods. When you feel better, eat foods that are low in fat and easily digestible. Start with small amounts to prevent vomiting.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages and beverages containing caffeine.
- If the patient’s symptoms are severe enough to หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ require hospitalization, the doctor will administer intravenous fluids, as well as antibiotics or medications to relieve nausea and vomiting.
Usually, if the patient has mild symptoms, they will recover on their own within 24-48 hours.
Prevention of food poisoning
- You should wash your hands every time before eating because germs may not come from food alone.
- Although we cannot control how food is prepared by a business, we can choose to eat freshly cooked food because the heat helps kill some of the germs.
- Keep food at the right temperature. Do not leave food at room temperature because this is the ideal temperature for germs to grow. Reheat it when you want to eat it again.
- Get enough rest and exercise regularly to build up your body’s immunity. If your body is weak, you can easily get food poisoning.
