Treatments for Food Poisoning While Breastfeeding
Below are some useful tips to help you overcome food poisoning while breastfeeding:
– Washing hands frequently: Make sure to do this with water and soap, especially after vomiting and going to the toilet and before nursing or holding the baby.
– Drinking plenty of fluids: Food poisoning may lead to dehydration. Therefore, drinking a lot of water to stay healthy and keep your milk supply stable.
– Taking medications: Consult your doctor before taking any medications for treating food poisoning to make sure these drugs are compatible with breastfeeding.
– Protecting others: Make sure to sanitize high-touch areas, such as toilet handles, light switches, or door handles to prevent microorganisms from infecting your family members.
– Seeking medical attention: If symptoms last more than a few days or you have more severe issues, visit your healthcare provider to get proper treatments. [6]
