Still have stomache flu after 9 days???!
Question: My daughter and I both got what seemed to be the stomach flu 9 days ago. We both presented the same initally....vomiting followed by diarehea. She is only 3 so I don't know what else she was feeling, but she now appears and acts fine.
One the 3rd day I started to have horrible gas pains. With a lot of gas ex this got better. Day 4 still completely wiped out not appitite, nausea and diarreha.
Now day 9 not as fatigued but I still have absolutley no appitite, nausea and when I do it something I have diarreha (11 times today.) Now my muscles are getting tired, I assume from electrolyes being out of wack.
What could this be caused by???And why is it not going away by now?? I have tried yogurt and acidophilus capsules and peppermint for the nausea

It's possible that you have a viral infection in your stomach. It could also be gastroenteritis. Chew on ice for nausea, eat light food such as rice crispy bars, bananas, chicken broth and avoid dairy products. Drink lots and lots of fluids. It's contagious so stay away from other members of family.
Could be food poisoning. That can last for a week or two.
Try eating something a little more heavy, bread or potato, just a small amount.
Be sure to get enough water.
sounds to me like you are dehydrated,, i would go to a doctor,,
it sounds like you have the regular flu bug oging around,,
expecially all the times you are getting sick in a day,,
the er room would probably end up giving you an iv for a while ,,
go get checked out soon please
