Umm, to the best of my belief this is not a stomach flu!. Possibly something similar to it but I don't think it is the flu!. As a matter of fact, I think I just passed this ailment onto my brother because I had something very similar to this happening to me!. Very few of the things you mentioned were things that didn't happen to me!. I was experincing dizzyness, blackouts, fatigue, weakness, diarrhea!. Although I don't think I was that tired but I remember one day I just passed out and didn't walk up for hours!. I am pretty sure that it is not the flu but maybe a not so mild cold!. Perhaps a more severe cold!. I am recovering from it just now after a whole week (7 days!.) I was also getting lots of aches and pains!. Ear aches, eye aches, soar throats, lack of hearing in one ear, ankle pain, and so much more!. And it takes a while for the germs to get from one person to another as much as 5 days so it is possible that your neighbor passed it onto your daughter!. If it continues for more than a couple weeks, I would schedule appointment with her pedatricain!. Make sure she drinks lots of water and slightly limit her food intake, especially if she is naucious!. Hope she feels better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This sounds like an intestinal bug, stomach bug, or stomach flu!. Is she drinking plenty of fluids!? It sounds like she might be dehydrated!. Stomach viruses are highly contagious and can live outside of the body for up to 2 weeks, so it's very likely she got it from your neighbor!. If your daughter is blacking out when she stands up, you need to take her to the ER for treatment immediately!!! Hope she feels better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
