Center
of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) USA 1 gave us an intriguing fact, that
one of 6 people became sick after eating
contaminated foods. What surprise us is that most foods we eat aren’t as clean
as before they were. Remember the E.Coli
outbreak in Europe? In a continent that people can drink from tap water, the
event occurred. Not many people realize food poisoning is a dangerous. First,
our stomach would feel funny, and then comes the vomit. Sometimes a fever
occurs, and most of the time if the food poisoning is not stopped within 48
hours, the patient became dehydrated.
The
symptoms beside stomachache, vomit, fever, and dehydrated; sometimes stomach
spasm and diarrhea is unpreventable. What do we have to do when those symptoms
take place?
First
of all (if its 48 hours before the event):
- Frequently drink small amount of
water
- Avoid alcohol, coffee and sugary
drink.
- You can drink ionized beverages
such as Gatorade or Pocari sweat, and then add water on to it.
- After you can tolerate water; you
can start eating carbohydrate such as rice, wheat bread, potatoes. Etc.
- Avoid spicy foods and fried meals
When
to seek medical provider/care?
- The symptoms last 2 or more than
2 days.
- If you vomit severe enough so
that you’re unable to drink.
- Fever above 38.3o C, with
abdominal pain as a coexisting symptom.
- Abdominal pain, cramp, or spasm
persists 10-15 minutes
