Question:

What kind of medicine would be perscirbed by a doctor for a stomach flu/virus?

My bestfriend has had a stomach flu for some days now and Pepto Bismol isn't helping him. Before she spends money going to a doctor what might you think he would perscribe if anything at all?


Answers:

My guess would be something stronger to treat the symptoms; assuming it is indeed a virus. A viral infection generally needs to run its course; it is usually left to the body's immune response to destroy the virus.

The doctor will most likely instruct your friend to consume plenty of clear liquids. Also, try Alka Seltzer if the Pepto isn't helping.
