If you are experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, you may wonder if the cause is food poisoning, stomach flu, or COVID-19. These conditions share similar symptoms, though there are some key differences between them. Read on to learn more about the symptoms of food poisoning, stomach flu, and COVID-19 and how to determine which condition you have. You'll also learn how to treat each condition, when to seek medical care, and how to test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. To determine what is causing your gastrointestinal symptoms, it's important to consider factors such as severity, accompanying symptoms, and possible causes. You may need to take a test to get a diagnosis. Typical food poisoning symptoms Eating food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites can cause food poisoning.

Experts say the best way to treat viral gastroenteritis — aka the stomach flu — is to focus on staying hydrated by eating ice chips, low-sugar fruits, and drinking plenty of water. Once you feel ready to eat solid food, start with items that are simple to digest like toast, crackers, white rice, and steamed potatoes. After that, you can try adding more complex carbs and protein from foods like oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs. When you're recovering from the stomach flu, spicy, high-fat, sugary, acidic foods and drinks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages should be avoided. This article  was medically reviewed  by Samantha Cassetty, MS, RD, nutrition and wellness expert with a private practice based in New York City. Viral gastroenteritis — commonly known as the...

Researchers at Spain's Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia and the University of Pennsylvania are pioneering the use of nanobots in medicine, and in a new study, they've shown that these tiny robots can kill off bacterial infections. The self-powered robots could be particularly useful for delivering targeted antibiotics to fight infections without accidentally creating superbugs, as well as working along the full site of the wound and getting drugs exactly where they need to be. "We see that the whole wound gets covered," UPenn machine biology group member and study author César de la Fuente told WIRED's Max G. Levy.  "The machines can actually travel around the wound and clear the infection as they go." Researchers are exploring a future for microrobots, and the even-tinier nanobots, in medicine as targeted therapeutics. Rise of the nanobots: Nanobots are a bit on the fantastical side; tiny machines that swim around inside people are a f...

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is an uncommon and life-threatening condition that arises from an oropharyngeal infection and descends along the cervical fascial planes into the mediastinum. Without aggressive surgical management, a high mortality rate exists. We report a case of an otherwise healthy 49-year-old male who presented with an abscess formation of the right submandibular gland secondary to sialadenitis without sialolithiasis. Computed tomography revealed fluid collection around the right submandibular gland suggestive of sialadenitis without sialolithiasis with severe inflammation and leftward deviation of the aerodigestive tract. Despite multiple drainages, the infection eventually progressed inferiorly into the mediastinum, resulting in DNM. After multiple takebacks to the operating room for exploration and washout of the neck and chest, intensive care unit management, and aggressive IV antibiotic therapy, the patient eventually had a successful recovery and ...

Show Caption Hide Caption Bird flu can spread amongst humans, but is very rare While bird flu is rarely seen in humans, it shares many of the same symptoms as the regular flu. Damien Henderson, Getty Images Normally, Puglisi Farms — the state's largest egg producer — would keep some 60,000 chickens at its Howell farm. Not this year. As a deadly bird flu sweeps across the nation, poultry and egg farmers like the Puglisis are nervous. Tom Puglisi, whose family owns the farm, said they decided keeping tens of thousands of chickens in one location was too risky. "We've chosen not to have any (this year), because we're too nervous about the disease," Puglisi said, adding that the family is sourcing eggs from farms in Pennsylvania instead. Across New Jersey, poultry and egg farmers are worried for their flo...
