Vomiting If the food is eaten within one to two hours, the method of inducing vomiting can be adopted. Take 20 grams of salt immediately, add 200 ml of boiling water, and drink it once after cooling. If you don't vomit, you can drink more times to quickly promote vomiting. You can also use 100 grams of fresh ginger, mash the juice and take it with 200 ml of warm water. If you eat bad meat food, you can take ten drops of water to promote rapid vomiting. Some patients can also use chopsticks, fingers or goose feathers to stimulate the throat and cause vomiting.
Catharsis If the patient eats poisoned food for more than two hours and is still in good spirits, he can take some laxatives to urge the poisoned food to be excreted as soon as possible. Generally, 30 grams of rhubarb is decocted once, and 20 grams of sodium sulfate can be selected for elderly patients, and it can relieve diarrhea by washing with boiling water. For the elderly who are in good health, 15 grams of senna leaves can also be used, once decocted or taken with boiled water, and the purpose of catharsis can also be achieved.
Detoxify. If it is food poisoning caused by eating spoiled fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., it is advisable to take 100 ml of vinegar and 200 ml of water, and take it once after dilution. In addition, 30 grams of perilla and 10 grams of raw licorice can be decocted once. If you eat spoiled drinks or preservatives by mistake, the best first aid method is to fill them with fresh milk or other drinks containing protein. If the patient's symptoms do not improve after the above first aid, or if the patient is seriously poisoned, he should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. In the process of treatment, we should give the patient good care, try to make him quiet, avoid mental stress, pay attention to rest, prevent catching cold, and supplement enough light salt boiled water at the same time.
The above are just some emergency measures. If food poisoning is confirmed, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, no matter whether it is mild or not.
