A member asked:

I have been having diarrhea and feeling nauseas for 4 days. is this normal for a stomach virus or is it something else?

Dr. Corey Clay answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

A bit long: 4 days is a bit long for viral gastroenteritis. There are several potential causes to consider for new onset diarrhea of less than 2 week duration. If not improving, discussion with a physician is recommended.
