How does treating foodborne illness mess up your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foodborne illness: You can wait it out with no treatment as it's self-limited. If you take an antibiotic, you are exposed to potential side effects. Allergy, vaginitis in women, nausea are common side effects. Pepto-bismal is often used with very few side effects.
