Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Over-the-counter options for food poisoning symptoms like squeezing abdominal pain and diarrhea focus on managing discomfort and dehydration. For pain relief, a common choice is acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can help with mild to moderate abdominal pain and is generally easier on the stomach than NSAIDs like ibuprofen, but remember to follow the dosing instructions on the package, to avoid any potential liver damage. For diarrhea, bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) can be helpful, as it addresses both diarrhea and some abdominal discomfort. However, it’s essential not to use it if you’re allergic to aspirin, and keep an eye out for any darkening of your stools which is a harmless side effect. Another option for symptomatic relief is loperamide (Imodium), but avoid using it if you have a fever or bloody stools, as it can worsen some infections by slowing down the removal of bacteria or toxins. Staying hydrated is critical; sipping clear fluids like water, broth, or an oral rehydration solution throughout the day will help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. If you notice signs of severe dehydration, persistent high fever, or you’re unable to keep fluids down for an extended period, see a healthcare professional as these could indicate the need for medical attention. Treatment at home should be approached with the awareness that if symptoms don’t improve within two days, or they worsen, contacting a healthcare provider is advisable. Using medicines wisely and keeping an eye out for worsening symptoms is key to a safe recovery, always prioritizing health while managing food poisoning.
