A member asked:
How long does it take to get the stomach flu after being exposed to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Norovirus is the most common viral cause of "stomach flu" or gastroenteritis. Exposure can result in illness within 24 hours. Other causes of gastroenteritis like bacteria can take several days. Handwashing and food safety can help prevent spread of illnesses like these. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

I breastfeed my 9 month old and I have severe diarreha and nausea, what can I take to get rid of this stomach flu?
My wife and kids have been throwing up and have diarreha off and on for the past 24-36 hours. Thinking they have some sort of stomach flu/ virus. Is there anything they can take or do? And, what can I take to ensure I don't get it? Thanks.
I have allergies to egg which means whenever I eat egg, it will not be digested easily and will get stomach pain. The pain will go away after I have the gastric tablet. So my question is, with this condition is it advised to take the flu shot?
