Can I speed up recovery from a stomach bug?!


Question: Can I speed up recovery from a stomach bug!?
I work at a childcare center!. I used to work there full time but recently cut my hours back A LOT because I'm trying really hard to finish college!. I only go to the daycare about 1 - 2 times a week now!.

When working there full time hours, I was constantly getting sick! Stomach bugs, colds, everything! Since I stopped working there so much I have noticed that I am not getting sick neary as often!

This is the first time i've been sick since cutting back my hours 3 months ago!. Its a stomach bug and its had me up half the night!.!.!.I feel like I should just get a pillow and blanket and camp out on my bathroom floor!!

I know that they say to get healthy you have to get a lot of rest and drink a lot of fluids and all that stuff, but would that really work with a stomach bug!?!? Tomorrow (today, its 3am) is Sunday and next week i've got a REALLY busy week!. Do you think that sleeping all day today could possibly speed up this bug!?
Or does a stomach bug just have to run its course!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It has to run its course!.!.!.but you can reduce the effects with dramamine (take 1/2 for less drowsiness) and sip at sprite/7Up!. It will keep your electrolytes up, the gentle fizzy feels good, and it will keep you hydrated!.

Good luck - I hope you feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll feel better faster if you can prevent dehydration!.
The fastest way to absorb water into your body is by drinking a specially formulated electrolyte/glucose drink (eg Pedialyte), much faster than plain water or juice!. If you are vomiting, then just take small sips every 5 mins!. And yes, rest will help!.
Hope you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
