A member asked:
Is it still viral gastroenteritis if diarrhea began before vomiting? diarrhea for 3 hrs, then vomiting too, now just watery diarrhea. 27/f. scared.

Yes, can be viral: The order of diarrhea and vomiting doesn't predict whether what you have is viral since can present both ways. Should you have bloody diarrhea or fever over 102 F then would go to your doctor. More than likely you have viral gastroenteritis and will run its course over 3 to 5 days. Can try some peptobismol
