Constant nausea after food poisoning

Three days ago my husband and I went out to eat at a little Mexican restaurant. The next day we were very ill. My husband had diarrhea and I was vomiting and very nauseous all day. Three days later I am still queasy but not throwing up. I've had food poisoning before and it has never lasted this long. Can someone tell me it will go away? It's not bad nausea but after three days it is annoying. Should i seek medical help? I usually do not go to the doctor unless I absolutely have to. Matter of fact I don't even have a doctor.
 
Well, as long as you are getting down adequate liquids and at least some food, there's no harm in waiting and seeing a little longer. Sometimes it does take a while for your stomach to settle down after it gets really upset.

Have you tried ginger tea or candied ginger? It sometimes helps. And of course keep eating small meals of easy-on-the-stomach foods like rice, oatmeal, toast, etc.

Obviously, if you give it a few days more and it really doesn't seem to be improving, then you should get it checked out.
