Need Medications For Stomach Flu
Hi. I'm not sick at the moment but very curious about these symptoms. I had a pretty nasty stomach flu last week. I began vomiting at 3 am.....about 5 to 15 minutes apart, accompanied by severe diarrhea, beginning about an hour and a half later. All this happening for about 6 hours. Anyway,after each purge, my temp went down to 95, I was soaked with a cold sweat and dizzy. It subsided after about 5 minutes. Never experienced this before but I can't remeber being this sick...ever! I'm a 57 year old woman, very fit and active. 5'5" 125lbs. Any thoughts? Thanks!
