A member asked:
What should i do for stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach flu: Rest, fluid for re-hydration (sport drink, fruit juice, etc), restrict or reduce oral intake if symptoms are severe. Consider anti-nausea and and-diarrhea medications as needed. Viral gastroenteritis is usually self-limited, and overall outcome is good. See a doctor if fever or severe abdominal pain.
