Stomach virus?: Generally speaking, a stomach virus or a foodborne illness was generally last up to 3 to 5 days. In looking at the symptoms you have described, there certainly are other possibilities that this could be. If you remain symptomatic, it would be more wise to readdress the diagnosis that you try to treat the individual symptoms. I would recommend he follow up with your doctor again.
