Indeed, it is flu season again. According to the symptoms listed in your description, you definitely have a viral flu. And unfortunately, since the current medical technology has not developed any drug that is capable of killing ANY virus as simple as the cold virus, there is not a medication on this planet that will cure the flu. Antibiotics are strictly for deactivating bacterial receptors, that's why ALL physicians refuse to prescribe antibiotics unnecessarily. Therefore, even if you can afford the ER service, which, with a sliding-scale price policy, would still be at least $30 if your mom is unemployed. Your only defense in killing any kind of virus, including the flu, is your own immune system.

However, this is what you can do as an at-home remedy:

----Peptobismol (generic brands are much cheaper), as well as eating bananas, will temporarily alleviate your diarrhea immediately
----Vitamin C (drink orange juice, grape juice, or take the tablets) will boost your immune system
----DO NOT force yourself to eat, not even chicken noodle soup, which will help ease the vomiting a bit
----drink lots of Gatorade instead of water, since these contain the electrolytes that are much needed to replenish your energy, so that you don't lose too much weight
----try to get plenty of rest, make sure you get enough sleep for rejuvenation process
----apply Germ-X (or some store generic brand of hand sanitizer) on your hands throughout the day so that you don't pass it on to anybody else
----the normal chills (is actually fever, which the sweat and clamminess sensations are what makes you feel cold) that you have is merely your body's way of signaling to the brain that something is wrong with your body, so take some Acetaminophen (generic Tylenol ingredient) or Ibuprofen to regulate your body temperatures
----as for the plugged up ears, that's because you have too much congestion up your sinus; Guaifenesin will help dilute your congestion into thin mucus, which will more easily drain down to your throat so you can spit it out
----although OTC Tylenol Cold/Flu will not cure your cold virus either, taking that will temporarily relieve the symptoms; either Chlorpheniramine Maleate or Diphenhydramine will stop runny nose; Phenylephrine Hydrochloride will clear the congestion by temporarily shrinking the nasal passages

go to the ER, could be a simple virus but just to rule out anything serious as it could be something serious. they will medicate you and send you home with a prescription of something to help you or admit you into the hospital for further care.

go see a doctor... or take a hot bath that usually work it soothes out my body...

you may have gastro,. which is throwing up at the same time as having the runs. its nothing major, you just need to see a doc.
unless you are pregnant but i dont think so..
as for now, please rest and try to eat things like bread as they will soak up your tummy and ease the runs a little bit. i work in chemists so i know what im saying.
best of luck, try to get some rest...

First and most important do not dehidrate. Drink lots of fluids mix some water about a litre put 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons sugar in it. Drink this every now and again. Get Coca cola degass it with a fork and drink that to. often.

You might have foodpoisoning or gasrto but it is treated same.

well it could be gastro but gastro dosent give you chills if i was you i would get a bucket try not to take any medication sip water and go up to the hospital
