Food Poisoning Treatment at Miami-Dade Walk-in Centers

If you’re feeling ill within a few hours after eating food, you may have food poisoning, a condition that can occur if you digest food that is infected with viruses, bacteria, or parasites. Contamination often occurs when food isn’t handled or cooked properly. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and fever. The duration of symptoms can range from several hours to a few days. While most cases of food poisoning are mild and will resolve with rest and fluids, severe cases will require treatment to avoid complications.

How Our Urgent Care Can Help

If you’re experiencing signs of food poisoning, you can walk in to any nearby UHealth Jackson Urgent Care center without an appointment and be seen quickly by a UHealth – University of Miami Health System board-certified doctor.

Your doctor will perform a physical exam and check for signs of dehydration. We have on-site labs where we can test your blood or stool to identify the source of your food poisoning. After reviewing your symptoms, we can provide IV fluids to address dehydration, help reduce nausea, and prescribe antibiotics if necessary.
