Relief from Food Poisoning

Food Poisoning: What it is and how it manifests

Food poisoning is caused by the consumption of contaminated or spoiled food, water, or other liquids in which bacteria (e.g., salmonella, E. coli, listeria) have developed due to poor storage or insufficient hygiene practices.

Common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, while in more severe cases headache, bloody stools, and fever may also appear.

The type of symptoms, their time of onset, duration, and intensity depend on the microorganism that caused the food poisoning, the amount of food consumed, and your overall health condition.

However, the most serious problem of food poisoning is neither the vomiting nor the nausea and diarrhea. It is the dehydration it causes to the body. And a dehydrated body does not function properly, leading the problem to worsen.

The key to effectively managing food poisoning is the immediate rehydration of the body. One way to achieve this would be by consuming large amounts of water, but the condition of the stomach in cases of food poisoning does not allow it.

How is food poisoning treated?

The Food Poisoning Relief treatment offered by the Therapia Specialists Unit provides rapid relief by infusing fluids directly into the bloodstream, avoiding further irritation of the stomach, ensuring absorption twice as fast as drinking water, and offering immediate hydration.

At the same time, with the intravenous administration of medicine, symptoms such as headache, vomiting tendency, diarrhea, and nausea are addressed much faster than they would be with oral medication.

To avoid ending up at the clinic with food poisoning…

  • Follow hygiene rules: wash your hands, utensils, and kitchen surfaces thoroughly
  • Cook your food at the correct temperature
  • Refrigerate perishable food
  • Do not consume food that is visibly spoiled or that you suspect has not been properly stored
