Q: i am almost sure i have food poisoning, my trips to the bathroom are not that far apart. now i usually have an iron stomach, i am the one who can eat the furry cinnamon roll that has been sitting out for a week without so much as heartburn, but tonight 3 hours after going out to eat, i am sick as a dog but no fever, so i am pretty sure it isn't the flu. short of going to the hospital is there anything that can lessen the pain and length of food poisoning. i know i wont die from this as long as i stay hydrated and that as soon as its out of my system i will be ok, but its been an hour and its getting old, annoying and more painful. what really gets me the pain is mainly on my right side by my hip, its almost as bad as childbirth was.
A: Food Poisoning..... Maybe. It could also be appendicitis If its food poisoning time is all that will ease the pain. Also food poisoning is usually vomiting and diarrhea together. If you are only vomiting then refer back to the appendicitis comment, and keep the ER in mind as well.
