What Causes Symptoms Of Flu, Diarrhea And Fatigue?

Hi. It seems that I have slight flu symptoms coming on rather quickly. Diarrhea for a day. Slight aches in arms. Tired. Anxious. My husband feels like he has a cold that started yesterday. I m concerned because I m an anxious person that it could be something serious but I m not sure what it could be. I ve ruled out Hanta Virus. But you can see how my mind works.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are also having viral infection.
Since your husband it having cold, he might be spreaded infection to you.
Your all symptoms like fatigue, diarrhoea, flu symptoms are suggestive of viral infection only.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid oily and spicy food.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 3-4 days.
If you are not improving after 3-4 days then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
