Viral Illness: I think you have done all you can. If you had any life threatening condition then these medical professionals would have found it. You need rest, fluids and more rest. If you worse then paging your doctor on call may be appropriate. But, these illnesses do get better with time.

If it's viral you'll: Have to wait it out..Start with clear liquid like water, soda that is clear, or sports hydration drinks. Sip, sip, sip. Work up to solids with bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, gelatin, or chicken. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy & high fat foods. Rest. According to the cdc, viral gastroenteritis usually has a duration of one to ten days (depending on the specific virus).
