Food poisoning treatment

- Drink ORS to replace water and minerals lost through vomiting and defecation. Sip small amounts throughout the day with regular meals and continue until you stop vomiting or have solid stools.
- Take antidiarrhea medication. Patients may take antidiarrhea medication under the advice of a doctor or pharmacist to help relieve diarrhea along with drinking water and oral rehydration powder, which is the main treatment.
