FAQ Category: Food Poisoning and Diarrhea

Drink bottled or boiled water, eat freshly cooked meals, and avoid raw salads or street food in areas with poor sanitation.

Undercooked poultry, raw eggs, unpasteurized milk, seafood, and improperly stored food are common culprits.

Focus on hydration with ORS or clear fluids, rest, and a bland diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast). Avoid greasy or spicy foods until recovery.

Common symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, fever, and fatigue. Severe cases may involve blood in stool or dehydration.

Most cases resolve within 1–3 days. If diarrhea lasts longer, it could mean a stronger infection or another condition and should be evaluated by a doctor.
