Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Flu Season: There is nothing in your question to imply a life threatening condition requiring the emergency room. I would call the family clinic tomorrow if the pain continues. If there are other symptoms that are life threatening then please get to the er, but a stomach ache is not a reason to go to the er.
