Does this sound like the stomach flu?!


Question: Does this sound like the stomach flu.?
ok so its probably a really mild case...
but a few days ago i got symptoms like the common cold, like a runny nose, and a little bit of a sore throat. then at school (at lunch THANK GOD) i had to go to the bathroom all the sudden and i had the runs. i had the runs the rest of the day and then i took immodium. now it's mostly solid but my stomach still kinda hurts when i go to the bathroom. is this just a minor case of the stomach flu.? or do i have something else.? sorry for all the details, i just want to make sure its not something bad. thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If you are able to keep food and drink down and in then I would say the worst is over and you had a mild case of whatever mutant virus you had. i remember when it used to be you either got a cold virus (stuffy nose, headache, sneezing, etc., or a stomach virus (vomiting, diarrhea, terrifying), or influenza (knock you on your ***, cramping aching, fever, sore throat, headache, loss of appetite, rather die, flu). Now its a mix of all these things and you never know what symptom you're going to get with what. i get a cold now and I end up with walking pneumonia for two months afterward. So you seem as though you lucked out dear but I totally understand your concern.

Mmmm you know I get stomach aches every day and have had that problem since I was 10. 3 years later its still going on, only I dont have cold symptoms.

Get lots of rest, and drink plenty of water and milk. Dont have TOO many sweets (ha yea right when its Halloween right)

Try to eat healtheir foods

Ask a Dr if this keeps on goingHealth Question & Answer

I work a preschool and I see this sort of thing all the time. Viruses like this spread in schools way easy. Try to get as much rest as possible, eat easy to digest foods (like soup), and drink LOTS of water. Usually when people have diarrhea it means you need more fluids in you. Drinks like soda, apple juice, grape juice, and coffee will make the "runs" worse.Health Question & Answer

No fever.? This could be something other than the flu.

But ask your doctor if you should get the flu shot once you're better. It doesn't hurt, and it's so much better than being sick for a week.Health Question & Answer
