What causes food poisoning?
Badly stored (expired) food produces bacteria and toxins. A child's
stomach can be very sensitive to these harmful toxins. These poison
toxins can often cause inflammation of the gut.
 SYMPTOMS
OF FOOD POISONING:
Abdominal cramps are the most common symptoms of food poisoning.
Other symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, chills
and fever.
FIRST AID FOR FOOD POISONING:
- Hydrating the child with plenty of fluids allows toxins to be
flushed from the body system.
- Give your child enough rest.
- Seek medical advice if the condition does not improve or if it worsens.
