[34M] Experiencing shivering and vomiting

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible explanations for your symptoms include:

• Food Poisoning: Consuming contaminated fish can lead to food poisoning, which often causes vomiting and chills. Symptoms usually appear within a few hours after eating the contaminated food.

  • Treatment typically involves rest and rehydration. Antibiotics may be necessary in some cases, depending on the type of bacteria causing the food poisoning.

• Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It can cause symptoms like vomiting, chills, and sometimes diarrhea.

  • Treatment usually involves rest, rehydration, and eating bland foods until the symptoms subside.

• Allergic Reaction: Some people have allergies to certain types of fish. Symptoms can include vomiting and chills, among others.

  • Treatment involves avoiding the allergen. In severe cases, an EpiPen may be necessary.

What you can do

1. Rest and stay hydrated. Dehydration can worsen your symptoms and make you feel worse. Try to drink small sips of water, clear broths, or rehydration drinks.
2. Avoid eating solid foods until vomiting stops. Then try eating light, bland foods like rice or bananas.
3. If you suspect an allergic reaction, avoid fish and seafood in the future.

What you should look out for

Please seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following:

• Blood in your vomit or stool
• Severe abdominal pain
• Signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth, not urinating, or feeling extremely thirsty
• Symptoms that last for more than 48 hours or get worse
