A member asked:

I had chicken at a braai last night and woke up at 1am, vomiting. i'm feverish and having cramps in my stomach and thighs. what do i do? (i'm at work.)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gastroenteritis.: Could be a stomach bug, or perhaps food poisoning. Indistinguishable clinically, but thankfully both self-limited. Should resolve in three to five days without treatment other than adequate hydration - drink fluids. If you’re having trouble keeping fluids down without vomiting, then go to ED for IV fluids and formal assessment.
