Why does 14 year old daughter always have to be hospitalized with flu for vomitting and diarrhea and has had it at least 15 times since age 3?

Vaccine: Does she get the flu vaccine every year? If not, you should think about getting her protected every year, before the flu season starts.

Doubtful diagnosis: Typical "flu" (influenza) causes fever, cough, bodyaches and occasional vomiting. Diarrhea is generally not a part of true flu.
