If you have the flu you really need to be careful not to get dehydrated or you could end up worse off than you already are. If you are vomiting especially. Try any kind of real fruit juice if your body can handle it. The natural sugar and vitamins will do your body a world of good! And if that doesn't help try a sports drink like powerade or gatorade or whatever you have where you are that's like those. They have enough calories that if you can't eat you can still keep your energy level up a bit and will replace some of the electrolytes lost from getting sick.Health Question & Answer
