요즘 날 더운데 진짜 식중독 조심해야겠어요… 저도 얼마 전에 한 번 크게 당했거든요
Summer Warning! We'll tell you about food poisoning symptoms, how to take Tylenol, and where to go to the hospital.
One thing we all experience at least once every summer is ⚠️ food poisoning symptoms ⚠️.
As the weather gets hotter, food spoils quickly,
Even if you let your guard down for a little while, you can easily suffer from stomachache, diarrhea, and vomiting.
But the problem doesn't end with a simple stomachache.
If not properly managed, it can lead to dehydration, fainting, and even hospitalization in severe cases. 🚨
So today we will talk about ✅ early symptoms of food poisoning,
✅ Can I take Tylenol?
✅ Where should I go to the hospital?
✅ And the foods that are good for food poisoning 🍚 vs the foods that you should not eat 🍟
I'll organize it all for you at once.
Food poisoning symptoms start like this.
Symptoms of food poisoning usually appear 3 to 12 hours after eating.
In the beginning
- My stomach is growling and I have a stomachache 🤕
- If you suddenly start vomiting 🤮
- The diarrhea starts pouring out. 🚽
Depending on the person
The fever may rise above 38 degrees 🌡️,
It also comes with body aches and pains like muscle pain and headaches. 😵
In severe cases, blood or pus may be mixed in the stool.
You may also experience confusion or muscle cramps.
You should never take these early symptoms of food poisoning lightly.
Can I take Tylenol for food poisoning?
A lot of people ask "Can I take Tylenol when I have food poisoning?" But. 🤔
If the fever is severe, it can be reduced with Tylenol, but caution is required.
Because before the toxins that cause food poisoning are excreted from the body.
Because if you just cover up the symptoms with an antipyretic, your condition may get worse. ⚠️
So, I only eat it once when I have a high fever and feel tired.
Basically, you need to replenish water and rest first. 🛌
Where should I go for food poisoning?
In the following situations, don't worry about which hospital to go to for food poisoning; just go straight to the internal medicine department or emergency room. 🚑
- Diarrhea and vomiting lasting more than 2 days
- Blood or pus in the stool
- When you can't drink water all day and vomit
- When you have little urine output or are dehydrated 💧
- When the fever persists 🌡️
Especially for children, the elderly, and those with underlying diseases, it is best to go to the hospital immediately when symptoms first appear.
Foods to Eat & Foods to Avoid for Food Poisoning
✔️ Foods that are good for food poisoning
- Seaweed soup, white porridge, banana 🍌
- Boiled eggs, tofu, chicken breast, white fish 🥚

- Spicy food, coffee, alcohol 🌶️☕🍺
- Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) 🧀
- Raw vegetables, raw fruits 🥗
These foods can be difficult to digest and worsen your symptoms.
In first aid, rehydration is the top priority.
If you get food poisoning, the first thing you should do is rehydrate. 💧
- Drink electrolyte drinks or boiled water slowly
- If it's too difficult, you can drink ORS (oral rehydration solution) made by adding sugar and salt to water.
And don't eat anything for 1-2 days.
As your physical condition improves, you should move from porridge to soft rice.
Don't eat things like sage leaves carelessly ❌
It's better to wait for your body to excrete it on its own.
