Accepted Answer

Reply: Very common during this season. Until and unless he doesn't have fever, appetite is ok and he doesn't have trouble breathing just observe and keep close eye.

Question 2

what's causes a light pink nose bleed during a cold or flu?

Accepted Answer

Congested tissues: -swollen capilaries.

Question 3

can you have the stomach flu without cough fever runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Stomach flu symptoms (vomiting, dry heaves and abdominal pain) can be cause by food poisoning or an infectious illness (viral or bacterial).  The key is to stay well hydrated and seek the care of a medical provider in 24 hours if the symptoms are not going away.  Feel better!

Question 4

i have flu like symptoms (cold, fever) i took mucinex (guaifenesin) sinux-max and started feeling better. just hen i was done with the medication i had nose-bleed?

Accepted Answer

Seasonal flu: Seasonal flu is very common viral infection with symptoms you have described. Usually the condition resolves on its own with home care. Drink water and get a good rest. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is also recommended every 6 hours. If concerned, see your PCP after 7-8 days or so.

Question 5

bright red vaginal bleeding during stomach flu. menses ended 3 days prior. ob says it's from straining from vomiting. brown mucus discharge following.

Accepted Answer

Doesn't compute...: This is surprising advice from an ObG doctor; I suspect you misunderstood. Neither viral gastroenteritis ("stomach flu") nor straining from vomiting can cause vaginal bleeding. Brown discharge could just be leftover blood, but both bleeding and abnormal discharge could mean an infection, including an STD if at risk. Get examined professionally, especially if symptoms continue or at STD risk.

Question 6

head hurts, nausea, stomach hurts along with not wanting to move my body. stomach flu?

Accepted Answer

Might well be.: Now, Influenza is a definite possibility. 
Nausea and vomiting can be a part of regular flu although respiratory symptoms usually dominate. Associated with exhaustion and muscle pain, myalgia and joint pain, arthralgia. So take it easy and if you are not better in a day or two go and see your doctor. 
Ibuprofen can cause nausea and stomach pain. 200- 400 Q 6 is the max. Don't take any for a day.

Question 7

i just had a 24 hour stomach flu. towards the end of it i passed out (syncope) twice in my bathroom. is this normal? i hit my head badly the 2nd time.

Accepted Answer

Likely dehydration: Likely dehydration contributing. Would suggest hydration, either by mouth or IV if unable to keep fluids down. If cardiac history as suggested by procedures, time for a visit to ER.

Question 8

is it common to suffer with a horrible headache after having food poisoning/stomach flu? have had a horrible headache off and on for 24 hours now. moves all over my head. mostly on my left side now?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it is possible.

Question 9

shivers, body & head aches, diarrhoea & bad stomach ache since 36hrs assuming stomach flu but now only stomach aches and cramps(worsened) visit doc?

Accepted Answer

You may be right...: ...but persistent and/or non-improving symptoms warrant evaluation and treatment.

Question 10

my stomach was hurting for one day only last week but then my stool was a green color for a few days. the only symptom i have been having now is no appetite for over a week now. i went to my primary doc, they think its a stomach flu but im not sure?

Accepted Answer

: The main agent adding color to the poo is the material made by the liver called bile. It starts out a dark green and goes thru the yellows to brown depending on the influences of various factors in the intestines. Rapid transit thru the system, as may occur with diarrhea may have a greenish yellow or yellow appearance. The slower, more likely browner.
