1880256 tn?1322569908 Kind of feels like the flu bug. My husband and 2 kids have been sick over the last month.Sore throats and flu like symptoms. When I do my daily walk,my stomach really rumbles too. But only for the last 3 weeks. I am starting to worry a little about ulcers. I've been told thsat to much vitamin c can cause that.
Avatar n tn is Nizonide o safe for kids aged 8 and 13? My kids were complaining of bad stomach pain (younger one aged 8 was also having frequent potty - not very frequent) but also stomach cramps. And both have mild flu like symptoms They were prescribed Nizonide O and Rablet by physician? Is it safe? My elder one (aged 3+) is still not okay and is having too much pain in throat too now and running nose.
5421936 tn?1378849147 So my daughter was throwing up on Saturday until about late afternoon. No other symptoms. I woke up today...stomach ache, headache, body ache, throwing up, diarrhea. Can't keep nothing done. No food, ginger ale. My hubby came home and now he has it. Ughhhh I hope this passes like...tonight. I just ate some applesauce and a few saltines and sipping Gatorade. Being 9 months pregnant and stomach flu is not fun at all.
Avatar n tn You say "I have a 7 month baby and has the stomach flu." Do you mean you have the flu or the baby has the flu? If the latter, go with the advice from margy. If the former, feed the baby as usual, keeping yourself as hydrated as possible. (Stomach flu doesn't transmit in breast milk.
Avatar f tn Good info. The term stomach "flu" is actually erroneous (that's not a dig at you, everyone uses that). Almost all stomach "flus" are viral in nature, and have nothing to do with influenza. Unless someone is diagnosed with actual influenza, they don't have a "flu". That's one of those terms that has just grown over the years. Handwashing is THE most effective way to stop the spread of communicable diseases and infections.
Avatar f tn So I've had the stomach flu since Sunday night & its now Thursday morning. I'm starting to get really freaked out that its lasting this long. My symptoms are the usual symptoms, diarrhea, headache, a fever, chills, etc.. I haven't thrown up at all this whole time thankfully. And I thought I was getting better because all the symptoms have went away, except I'm still getting diarrhea. Its just once a day, its not chronic like im running to the bathroom.
Avatar f tn My whole family is down with the flu. It ***** being pregnant with the flu. I'm 32 weeks and haven't really taken much to relieve the symptoms. It's even worse because my kids haven't been sleeping very well because they feel like crap so I haven't been sleeping hardly at all. I don't think the lack of sleep is helping me recover from the sickness. There have been multiple deaths in my area from this strain of the flu so of course I'm worried about that too.
Avatar f tn About two weeks ago I came down with a nasty stomach bug (possibly the flu) that I got passed down from my two kids. (Thanks daycare!) About a week after it hit I started getting weird urinary symptoms--constant leakage, trouble emptying bladder, fatigue, and pain at end of my penis. Saw urologist this past Friday and he said my prostate was swollen. All other urine tests, cat scan came up normal. Prescribed me cipro and flomax.
Avatar n tn Everytime I get out the bed I have to run to the bathroom. My kids have experienced similar symptoms so that makes me think it may be a virus. My Dr says if it continues to come in on Monday but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. If so what worked for you????
Avatar f tn ( On top of that got the flu shot yesterday so I am achy from that too and I haven't ate but once today bc food sounds horrid. Anyone else going through this while pregnant?
Avatar n tn I m not a doctor but i dont believe your symptoms are from a simple sinus.
Avatar f tn It sounds like it could just be the flu. I had no morning sickness or other symptoms, but had the flu a few weeks ago (when my kids had it). If it doesn't last more than a few days, you are probably fine. (My boys have the flu *again* this weekend and I am keeping my fingers crossed I don't get it.) If you are worried, though, you can always call your doctor. Hope you're feeling better soon!
1770029 tn?1325802355 Hi and sorry you are ill. There is no such thing as "stomach flu" meaning the influenza virus does not cause flu in the stomach. It is considered gastroenteritis. The symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, low grade fever up to 100 degrees and possible cramps are caused by many things, virus or bacterial. However, the most common cause is a virus called Norovirus. It is spead from person to person by fecal oral contamination.
Avatar m tn I normally wouldnt be nervous bc it was low risk but i developed symptoms. 5 days post exposure i had flu like symptoms with fever, night sweats, sore throat, achey muscles, ect... I went to doctor and he said it was probaly the flu. However I received a flu shot 4 months ago!!! So what could it be??After the medicene I was better after 4 days or so. Since then I have terrible diahreaa and upset stomach. Please advise.
7125575 tn?1588844178 I am wondering if it is possible to have chest pains, burning up every morning, feeling nausea if you don't eat, my breast hurts time to time, I have lower stomach pains and have lots of headaches. Are these signs and symptoms of being early pregnant.
4825186 tn?1409019576 That's not the flu. Influenza is an upper respiratory sickness. The "stomach" flu is called gastroentitis or however it's speller and is caused by inflammation from bacteria and other viruses. Your doctor can prescribe you antibiotics since it's so severe.
Avatar m tn gets around. Two days after I started having flu-like symptoms, achiness, intermittent headache, painful swollen glands in my throat and groin, itchiness. I thought maybe I had gotten herpes but then a couple days later I had a single incident of diarrhea that was followed by 3 days of constipation. Since then (about 3 weeks now) I have gone back and forth between constipation and diarrhea.
5770739 tn?1382315166 The flu shot is for respiratory flu, not for the stomach flu. A girl I knew got the flu toward the end of her pregnancy and it turned into pneumonia and she had to have an emergency c section at like 30 weeks and she ended up passing away from it never having been able to hold her baby because they had to put her in a medical induced coma. That being said, I have gotten a flu shot with every pregnancy and every year to protect my little ones with weak immune systems.
Avatar f tn I had stomach bug twice once at 7 weeks and again at 11 weeks.
Avatar m tn I developed stomach flu like symtoms about 48 hours later, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dehydration, very tired. lost 15 lbs in water weight. But my wife had the stomach flu same symptoms the previous week. Also having some slight discomfort in my urethra. Going to the Dr in the next few days to see if I may have aquired a bladder, UTI infection from the dehydration, and to check for any STD's from the encounter, no discharge or pain when urinating.
Avatar m tn Hello, I started a new job after a long period of being out of work. I started in March. Since then I have had flu like symptoms over 6 times, maybe more but most recently it's been worst and less time between intervals. Staring about a month and a half ago, I've had these symptoms occur at least 5 times. It's always the same.

Avatar n tn Withdrawal symptoms can be very similar to flu-like symptoms. Not sure where you are, but I know 2 of my 4 kids have been sick with flu-type things the last few weeks; mostly stomach, diarrhea, achy stuff. Could be that.
Avatar f tn Omg I totallly feel for you ladies who have been sick your whole pregnacy I have been so lucky to not have those symptoms however I have had the stomach flu for 12 hrs and this is awful straight pain. I now will not.complain about anythig cuz.I'm so helpless there's nothing.
