Consuming expired food may lead to diarrhea and vomiting, which generally requires prompt medical attention at a hospital, as these symptoms are often caused by food poisoning. Timely treatment is essential; delays may pose a life-threatening risk. In the meantime, maintain a light diet and drink ample oral rehydration solution (e.g., sugar-salt water) to prevent malnutrition due to indigestion and to avoid electrolyte imbalances.
