for stomach infection - #17213
I am really worried about this nagging issue I’ve been having lately. It started a few weeks ago after I ate at this new restaurant—totally regretting that now! I remember feeling fine at first, but then came the cramping and bloating, which turned into awful nausea. I thought it was just something I ate, but things got worse. I started vomiting and even had diarrhea. After a couple of days, I went to the doctor, and they did some tests, but they didn’t tell me I had a clear diagnosis, just mentioned "possible infection." I guess they were hinting at a stomach infection. They gave me some antibiotics which I’ve been taking for a few days, but I still feel off. I can't eat much without feeling like I’m going to hurl. Like, how long does recovery take for stomach infection? I really worry about the long-term effects. Am I gonna be stuck with this forever? Also, what should I be doing to help myself heal faster? Should I be following a specific diet or avoiding certain foods? Anyone who’s dealt with a stomach infection, what was your experience? Did you get better quickly or did it take time? I’m just feeling really anxious and want to know if this is something that usually clears up with treatment for stomach infection, or if I should be looking at more serious problems here.
