Is it true that food poisoning can only be treated with antibiotics?

Food poisoning is a condition that results from consuming contaminated food or drinks.

The treatment for food poisoning depends on the cause of the illness, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Antibiotics are effective only against bacterial infections, and not all cases of food poisoning are caused by bacteria. In fact, taking antibiotics when not necessary can lead to antibiotic resistance and other complications. Treatment for food poisoning usually involves rehydration, electrolyte replacement, and symptom relief. If necessary, antiviral or antiparasitic medication may be prescribed. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment if you suspect you have food poisoning.
