Food poisoning or tummy bug - what can I do to be right for work?

[DanglyEarOrnaments]

Hi, I have been throwing up violently all night and had shocking diarrhoea so without wanting to sound all mardy it wasn't fun and I feel like crap today

It's not often I'm ill but I need to do a lot of work next week, how can I make myself better for work tomorrow any specific food or drink or meds I should be having? I've put my bedding in hot wash.

I'm keeping soda water down now so am hoping to advance further in a bit. Is soda water ok? I always have soda water for hangovers so thought it would help and i haven't been sick since the early hours?

Shall I eat anything or not today?

Although i agree about the 48 hour rule i understand about not being able to stay off.
Majority of my sicknesses were because of d&v but when your faced with disciplinary measures or being told you're letting the side down for being off then you do go in( which means you then pass it on and you're then sick again!)

Sounds like it could be Norovirus. Do not go back to work for 48 hours after last episode of d or v. Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash clothes, etc seperately from other family members clothing or bedding. Use bleach/bleach based products to clean.
