treatment for stomach infection - #17569

Shanaya

I am really worried about this stomach issue I've been dealing with the past week. It all started after I had some questionable street food – yes I know, not the best idea. It was really greasy and kinda raw-looking. Just a couple of hours later, I was hit with a ton of cramps and nausea! It was terrible. I couldn’t eat anything without feeling queasy. I tried some over-the-counter meds, but they didn’t do much. I finally went to the doc, and she mentioned it could be a stomach infection and prescribed me some antibiotics. She said it was important to get the right treatment for stomach infection, but I’m not sure if it’s the best route. I mean, I don’t want to mess with my gut health more than I already have, you know? I read online about probiotics and other natural treatments too but I'm confused. Like, should I just stick with the antibiotics or is there a good treatment for stomach infection that’s more natural? Ugh, I just don’t know what to do here. I don’t wanna end up feeling worse. Any thoughts on what might actually work for treatment for stomach infection, and if there are any side effects to worry about?
