How long should you wait to resume exercise after the stomach flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When you are well: Acute viral gastroenteritis is commonly called "stomach flu." typically, as long as dehydration is avoided, the disease is self-limited. Once the symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain) have resolved, there is no further fever, and hydration status is normal, exercise can resume.
