How to prevent the stomach flu when you feel like you've already caught it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much...: All you can do is wash hands frequently, avoid others who are known to have it, etc. Once you have it, im not aware of anything you can do to prevent it. See your doctor for medications to help you through it, though.
