See your PCPC: The stomach flu is caused by a virus that attacks your gastrointestinal system. There is no cure for the stomach flu. The remedies are: good rest, plenty of fluids intake, plain food like crackers, cereal, toast and rice. Take NSAID over the counter and tincture of time. However, in your case it is prudent to see a doctor. Good luck.

Stomach upset: The shortcoming of telemedicine is that it's impossible to do a physical exam. As your GI distress is worsening, it should not be ignored. {lease see your General Physician or Urgent Care for examination, imaging, and necessary lab tests, none of which can be done virtually. Just to name a few problems can be stomach flu, GERD, diverticulosis, allergic reaction, and so forth. Please see Physician.
