Posted on Wed, 4 Dec 2024
Question: Hi there. I saw a friend today. This morning she told me she was feeling gross when she got up… once she got up and went to work she told me she felt better. We went to the mall for about 20 mins and then she was experience nausea,vomiting and diarrhea. She told me that she was in contact withsomeone at work around 5 days ago… this person had the flu. I also am aware she’s been on antibiotics for a sinus infection. I feel like there’s a good chance for those side effects or symptoms to be from other or but I’m not sure. I have my flu shot and Covid shot. Neither me or my friend have Covid as we both just recovered from it

Hi there okay thank you.

What are the chances that I have gotten it??
I woke up feeling a little nauseous. I believe thats Mainly because I had a bad sleep and I had a meal right before bed and understand that can cause nausea. I also think I’m just stressing myself out but I’m not sure. She is currently taking antibiotics so I know it could also be that. So I’m not sure what to do. Thank you In advance
