Many people think about the question of what to do with food poisoning? Fortunately, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the stomach can go away by themselves within two to five days. That is why the "victims" of food poisoning do not like to consult a doctor and rely on the people's means of self-treatment. We do not deny the usefulness of some herbs, natural remedies and time-proven treatments, but still recommend to see a doctor if your condition has not improved within a week, high fever, as well as vomiting and diarrhea for more than two days.
What should I do if food is poisoned, if the sick person is a child or an elderly person? In this case, qualified medical care is simply mandatory, since banal food poisoning can cause complications due to a lack of resources in the body to fight the disease.
Acceleration of the cure period for poisoning can: the use of large volumes of fluid, short sessions of fasting, adherence to bed rest and the intake of effective enterosorbents. Doctors recommend taking activated charcoal 3-5 gr.- 4 times per hour with an interval of 15 minutes, vitamin C - twice every hour, or immediately use a drug that combines the properties of activated carbon and vitamin C, for example, enterosorbent on natural raw material Entegnine-N.
Entegnine-H, an enterosorbent based on hydrolytic lignin, a cellulose product, is also recommended for special types of food poisoning: poisoning with mushrooms, meat and meat products, fish, vegetables and fruits, because its dosage and convenient form of release allow you to quickly get rid of heavySymptoms: nausea, vomiting, convulsions caused by exposure to toxins on the body. Having felt dryness in the mouth, weakness and the first vomiting, it is better to immediately take enterosorbent until the poison has not managed to get into the body in large quantities, did not start participating in the absorption process and could not yet disrupt the internal organs.
Particular care should be taken when poisoning with mushrooms, fish or unfamiliar fruits, for example, during a holiday in tropical countries. The effect of poison can be slow. So, you will find out that you are poisoned by fly agaric in half an hour, and pale toadstools - only after seven hours.
If many mushrooms try to be neat, for example, without collecting old or unfamiliar mushrooms, and avoid poisoning, what to do when food is poisoned in an unfamiliar country: many do not know the fruits and vegetables and start to panic. In this case, each traveler should be advised to learn more about the peculiarities of the national cuisine in the country that they intend to visit, not to buy suspiciously cheap fruits from street vendors, not to succumb to their persuasion, to try directly on the market unwashed and carefully select the contents of their first aid kit, not forgetting to put in it an effective enterosorbent.
