E-rx.onlineAbout Food Poisoning
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. It typically brings vomiting, diarrhoea and cramps within hours or a day or two, and healthy adults normally recover at home.
What Can Cause Food Poisoning
Bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and disease-causing types of E. coli are the most frequent culprits. These include ETEC (enterotoxigenic E. coli), a leading cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC (enterohaemorrhagic or Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli), which can cause bloody diarrhoea and, rarely, kidney complications. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus toxins cause very fast vomiting within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also frequent. Typical sources are undercooked chicken or minced meat, raw eggs, unpasteurised milk, shellfish, reheated rice, salads washed in untreated water, ice, and food left warm at buffets.
Typical Symptoms
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Nausea and sudden vomiting

On video the physician reviews your meals, symptoms and hydration, advises what to drink and eat, and can organise sample collection at the hotel. Antibiotics are used only when suitable, and normally not when EHEC is suspected. Medicine goes to the pharmacy as an e-prescription, and a hotel IV drip is possible if you are vomiting repeatedly. Treatment can involve oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
