The "food poisoning" package includes intravenous fluids and medications designed to alleviate symptoms caused by consuming contaminated food or water. It typically involves hydration solutions and anti-nausea medications to address gastrointestinal distress, aiming to restore fluids and electrolytes while providing relief from symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
