My nephew is having loose motions and vomiting since yesterday. The Doctor said it is food poisoning and there is infection in his stool. My question is, is infection cause of food poisoning? Kindly, suggest me any precautions?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. Food poisoning and infection are inter-changeable terms that mean the same thing.
Avoid oily/spicy foods; give him easily disgestible foods like khichri, sagoodana, oats, bananas, melons etc.
Avoid outside foods completely. Maintain good hygeine. Take medications as prescribed.
Drink boiled water only.
Hydrate the child a lot using plain water but mostly use ORS/pedialyte so that water and salts both are replaced. Hope he recovers soon
