A member asked:
I got poisoned from a crab salad and i've been nauseous for 4 days already.. help me please and should i be hospitalized?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food poisoning: This can be due to several causes, but hospitalization should not be commonly necessary unless you are becoming severely dehydrated. Hospitals are dangerous places to be in unless absolutely necessary. You should begin to feel better soon.
