Stomach virus: Based on your description and your symptoms what seemed to have been a stomach virus might have been just the onset of a different medical condition or uncovered a different condition.

Possibly: You have symptoms which could be serious and should see your physician.  He/she will listen to you, do a physical examinarion, run some tests, and let you know what's going on.

Question 3

does taking zofran (ondansetron) make stomach virus last longer?

Accepted Answer

More's not better: Zofran (ondansetron) may slow the transit time in the gut and rarely the bowels can stop moving.  Therefore potential to prolong the period of time in wh/a virus is in contact w/the gut.  In a study in children w/vomiting gastroenteritis who took zofran (ondansetron) x 48 hrs, return to the er w/diarrhea was higher in the kids w/zofran (ondansetron).  Another study gave 1 dose & the er return was less w/zofran (ondansetron) but kids had more diarrhea.

Accepted Answer

Electrolyte : Imbalance is common after viral infections. Specifically Potassium and Magnesium are commonly affected and may cause muscular symptoms. Enriched drinks as well as extra fruit and vegetables should help in a matter of few days. If that is not the case would suggest contacting your doc for further instructions.

Usually 2-3 days: Most stomach bugs last 2-3 days, so you should either be feeling better very soon, or should be checked out. Especially if you are not keeping any fluids down, you are at risk for dehydration.Most gastroenteritis infections also have diarrhea, so if only the symptoms you describe, must also consider other infections, such as urine or lung, or something more than a bug.
