Flu Season: There are several stomach flu scenarios, but this year in my practice those with GI involvement like you are being sick for five to seven days.

Viral infection: This may be an influenza-like syndrome, in which case it may go on for 7-8 days slowly resolving. Be patient, use otc meds for symptomatic relief and sleep, stay well hydrated and hope you will be better soon. Good luck, .
