Treatment of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning
Oral or IV fluids Sometimes antiemetics Supportive care, including rehydration with fluids and electrolytes, is the mainstay of treatment and is all that is needed for most adults. Antibiotics are not indicated. Oral glucose-electrolyte solutions, broth, or bouillon may prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration. Isotonic IV fluids such as Ringer’s lactate and normal saline solution should be given when there is severe dehydration. Treatment with an antiemetic (eg,prochlorperazine,ondansetron) may be helpful, especially in patients who cannot tolerate adequate oral rehydration because of nausea and vomiting.
