You probably know already that you have the flu and are not in the mood for checking your answers. I just need to clarify something the other woman said about Pepto Bismol. It does NOT "catch" the virus and push it out in your bowels, nor does it coat the stomach/intestines to prevent the virus from entering the body. Honey, this is the silliest wives tale I have heard in a long time. If that were true we'd take Pepto everyday along with breakfast and no one in the world would ever be sick again! I wouldn't want anyone to laugh at you for repeating that uneducated statement, or worse, end up teaching your children that. Virus' enter your body via your mucus membranes (nose/mouth) and quickly gain access to your bloodstream, where it attacks your cells. (Bacteria can enter your body through food, though it spreads in the same fashion as a virus). The reason you feel sick is because its your body's natural defense mechanism to throw up, not because the virus in your stomach! : ) I hope you feel better soon. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, nothing that has too much sugar though. (no juice or soda....sorry!)
flu, drink fluids and rest
I agree with NAN! You have the flu... you NEED to rest and try to drink fluids!
It sounds like a virus that will cause a bunch of symptoms such as you describe. You seem to have a fever (hot & cold), so take Tylenol 1000 mg every 4 hours or Motrin (ibuprofen) 200-400 mg every 4 hours, rest, and stay well-hydrated. It will pass.
PS If it doesn't pass in 2-3 days or the fever won't go away, see the doc.
PPS I am not a doc, so don't rely on my advice too much. :-)
sounds like stomach flu. Drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest! If your vomiting continues take Emetrol, it works great stopping that. If your stomach keeps hurting take Pepto. Pepto works by coating your bowel and "catching" any virus or bug that is in there so that when you go to the bathroom the virus/bug goes out too. Take an Advil for your headache, it will help reduce your fever too.
Dear....I'm a nurse, sounds like you may have the flu, ...Let it run it's course...take care of your self.....at lest...for. a few more days, if your still having problems after 2 more full days , I suggest ...seeing a doctor. Michelle RN.
