my fiance has food poisoning from bad sushi that he ate last night. He has had vomiting and diarrhea for 12hrs

Question:

He is finally able to hold down some water. Yet his stomach still aches.
How long does this last?
Any recommendations?

Answers:
if he can now hold down fluid he is on the road to recovery

probably about another 3-4 days before he feels well - he might feel drained for a few more days

if he isnt holding down fluids by now he needs medical treatment - probably an injection to stop vomitting and possibly some iv fluid treatment

if he can take fluids get a commercial electrolyte solution and he should drink on this constantly - you can add some extra sugar too if he can tolerate it

try to get him to drink at least 750 ml an hour

he can try a small amount of dry toast or crackers perhaps in another 6 hours and should be able to tolerate food again in another 24 hours

if vomitting re occurs seek medical attention - he may have diarrhea on and off for a day or so - as long as it is not too bad and he is taking in plenty of fluids he should be ok.

Other Answers:
if hes been doing it for 12 hours and not had his fluids replaceed.he needs to goto the er ASAP. otherwise it will get worse.
