    The "prob" is that you've got a stomach flu, which is often a euphemism for a gastrointestinal virus or even food poisoning. It can last for several days. If you're concerned, see a doctor. We're not doctors here, and we can't run tests or diagnosis you.

    its normal to have these symptoms after a flu. Usual recovery is from 3-4 days, some persons take about a week.

    For now, drink plenty of fluids, and eat stuff like chicken broth, banana, salt crackers, toasted bread, and maybe some soups. You can take tylenol for the stomachache, since it won't upset your stomach. Don't take advil or motrin, those require you to have a full stomache. Hope you feel better.

    Get plenty of sleep and rest.

    Stomach flus actually last a few days or even up to a week. You should make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids and if it doesn't improve then you should go to the doctor.

    probable no longer in spite of if it particularly is a reason for concern. i could attempt to touch your scientific professional or a nurse triage hotline and supply them the indications which you're experiencing. in case you finally finally end up arising a severe fever, then you could desire to pass to the ER right this moment. top now, it sounds greater like a abdomen virus than the Swine Flu.

    You need to see a doc, stomach flu is serious, so don't delay.
