Stomach Flu

Symptoms

• Nausea: A distressing urge to vomit, often accompanied by an uneasy stomach, which is one of the primary indicators of stomach flu.
• Vomiting: The involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth, which, while relieving nausea, can lead to dehydration if persistent.
• Diarrhea: Loose or liquid bowel movements occurring frequently, a hallmark symptom that can quickly result in the loss of vital fluids and electrolytes.
• Stomach Cramps: Intense and intermittent abdominal pain caused by spasms in the abdominal muscles, signaling irritation or inflammation in the digestive system.
• Fever: An elevated body temperature indicating that the immune system is fighting an infection, often seen in viral or bacterial causes of gastroenteritis.
• Body Aches: Widespread muscle pain and discomfort, which may be experienced alongside general malaise during a stomach flu episode.
