zofran for stomach flu

If you got the flu shot you most likely have the flu I would go to hospital so they can test you because the flu is very contagious and your putting others at risk. If you can't keep fluids down that is harmful to your baby because it can cause dehydration. And is some cases the flu has been known to kill unborn baby. Just go to the doctors to see what is going on better be safe and find out early then to be sorry and find out if is the flu.

Anyone else have or had the stomach flu while pregnant? I'm 4 months and have had the flu for past 2 days. Was given a prescription for zofran but I'm still super exhausted and worried it will hurt the baby all this vomiting and and soreness around my back and stomach.

zofran was a life saver for me I went from 150 to 123 in no time from all the vomiting i couldn't even drink water I was miserable..

Still not wanting to eat since I feel very nauseated even just drinking the water. Any ideas? Stomach flu? Severe morning sickness? Combo? I haven't had my first ob appointment yet since I'm 6wks4days today. My appt is scheduled for Dec 2nd. I have been doing the 1oz of water thing as recommended by a nurse at a local small town hospital.

Earlier in my pregnancy (9 weeks) i got a super bad 24 hour stomach flu, and now i am 13 weeks and i just got over a a pretty bad 7 day head cold which started with a sore throat, i better for only 3 days and now im getting sick again ( i can feel it coming) ahhh this *****, i am sick of feeling yucky ): I am mostly just venting right now lol

Okay so yesterday i felt bad and was cramping. Started vomiting and (tmi) having water like diarrhea. Now i have a headache that won't go away my nose is runny, I'm freezing (when I'm usually burning up, bit don't have a thermometer to take my temp) and my body aches all over... I haven't peed since like 4 pm yesterday evening so I'm probably dehydrated. Phenergan and zofran are not helping, even called my doc and he upped my dosage, still puking.

Has anyone had the stomach flu while pregnant? I'm 90% sure I have it. I feel absolutely miserable. I want to eat but I don't want to get ore sick off what I eat. Any suggestions? My symptoms are terrible belly ache for over 24 hours, weak and tired, acid reflux, nauseated, diarreah.

Ask your dr. for zofran. Works wonders! Promethazine as well but it will make u very sleepy!

Dr. Sent me home on Zofran 1 pill every six hours for nausea and hydrocodine 1 pill every 4 hours for headache. I still have nausea and migraine but now i have diarrhea super bad. I've tried everything from tea to ice behind my neck. I just took a cold shower. Idk what else to do!!! I called my ob waiting for them to call me. But I don't want to go to LD and wait for 6 hours.

I had a bout of the stomach flu at around 22 weeks. I went to the ER to get an IV because it's not healthy to be dehydrated while pregnant. It could just be the stomach flu, mine lasted two days. I would say if it lasts more than two days, go to see a doctor.

That Is horrible. Zofran is usually only prescribed for mild nausea. Sounds like you need to having something different. Hope you feel better. Drink lotsof wwater.

They sell things called preggie pops and preggie drops they are made with certain oild such as lemon, lavendar, peppermint, ginger I like them....

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.

What can u do for a stomach virus while ur pregnant.?? Other than drinking lots of fluids...(i throw the water right up) i juss took a zofran so im hoping it helps.

I took one, when I had stomach flu. Then I found out about the heart defects. I threw the rest away. Wasn't worth the risk to me. That's a personal choice though. Doctors are only human. The prescribe meds and procedures knowing that there are risks and some people will be badly effected.

m sure no one takes it for the heck of it. No pregnant women sign up for drug trials just for the sake of trials so some things are unknown risks. (There was a recent article about acetaminophen causing ADHD but most people wouldn't consider tylenol very risky.

You can try ginger ale saltines just don't take more meds then prescribed. With my first pregnancy zofran just took the edge off but it didn't work miracles.

Yes and then it went away for 2 days then I got the flu that my.

Some people refuse to take meds for it but I had to eventually take zofran because I couldn't work. I would suffer through the nausea on my days off and use the zofran when at work.

Sounds crazy but my friend swears by it. Eating small meals of bland foods (think the BRAT diet for getting over stomach flu) frequently may help. Keep crackers or something on your bedside table and munch a few every time you wake up at night and right when you wake up in the morning. If you have prenatals, try to take them at night and with food. Good luck!

Same here... It works great for me. I took it for about 4 days and then the constipation kicked in. Ouch, horrible. Now I need to do remedies for constipation problems.

So i have been stressing about being sick lately, barely had any sleep last night and barely ate with some vomiting and nausea. I Took a zofran to calm my stomach. I have bile reflux with ibs-c and it causes chronic gastritis, which mimics the stomach flu. I got out of my car and walked a bit and i felt a thud in my chest which prompted me to feel my pulse.

they recommended me to take it on an empty stomach, but it all depends on how you feel. Zofran works perfectly!

I'm on Zofran too! Due to weight loss from not keeping ANYTHING down. It's done wonders for me too! I didn't even think to suggest that. I'm glad someone else did!

im not throwing up just nauseated everytime i move, and i work so this totally ***** for me!!! i cat phenergan because i am allergic to it but maybe he can get me some zofran! i have appt thursday so i am gonna try and hang it there!

I have been using phenergan/promethazine it's an antihistamine for nausea and itching, it made me sleepy until I got used to it. It works well for me on the nausea and I guess the itching as well as I haven't had to much of a problem with that yet.
