Food poisoning
Hi there
I have spent the last two days feeling nauseas and have had diarrhea and have been throwing up quite a lot.
I ate some marinated braai meat on Saturday even and suspect the meat was off.
Can you tell me if this sounds like food poisoning? I’m feeling better today, but I certainly had a rough weekend.
Is there any medicine I should take? (I have improved, but was up throwing up last night) I don’t want to go to the doctor as I have changed medical aids and will not be crediting for any visitations for the next 3 months.
Thanks.
