Flu

PSA

Just because you are vomiting does not mean you have the "flu" especially if you got your flu shot.

I have heard at least 10 times this week that somebody is vomiting with the flu.

You might have a virus, but the flu is an upper respiratory illness, you have a fever, you have achy joints, you have cold type symptoms, and you may or may not vomit. You don't have other bathroom problems. You will probably be sick for at least a week, more likely two or three.

If you are vomiting and have diarrhea you have a virus, a virus that is not the influenza,
It could be Nora virus, it could be salmonella or e-coli, but it is not the flu. It probably will last for 2 or 3 days.

It could be a number of other things.

Sorry just annoying.
