My boyfriend was sick on Sunday and Monday. On Sunday he vomited a couple times, but still ate and was alright otherwise other than a slight tummyache. Then Monday he stayed home and vomited 2 more times. Tuesday he was pretty much fine and he's been fine ever since. He had no diarrhea and a perfect temperature. What do you think this could be? And also, if it was something contagious like a stomach virus, do I still have to be worried about getting it?

And I decide to take zofran (nausea medication that works in the brain to keep you from feeling nauseated- often given to cancer patients) to keep from tossing, will that cause a problem in the long run? Like if I had the flu and I used the zofran to keep me from getting sick. ( I am terrified of tossing, especially when I am alone in the house) Would there be any negative impact on the illness because I didn't void like my body obviously wants me to do?

Ok, I'm sorry if that question is kind of confusing...I currently feel AWFUL. I have a horrible headache, my body aches, and I feel colder than normal. But I don't have a fever or a stomach ache. Am I getting the flu?? Is is something else? It just kind of came over me in the last 2 hours. Thanks.

Hey everyone. It all started Monday when I ate dinner. I had a greesy food, and as soon as I ate it I got a stomach ache. It appeared in my upper abdomen. I had to go to the bathroom really bad, it helped alittle. Now today is wednesday and its just this plain discomfort in my upper abdomen and alittle on the left and right side. Its not painful just discomforting. A few months ago the doctor said I had viral gastroenteritis. Could the food I have ate upset it again? I am mostly going to go to the doctor. I am 16 years old, a male. Thanks for your help

In year 11 we have to get an injection against tetanus, and the police were in our school today. Is it being stopped? Also, why do we have to get it when Tetanus is rare as Hell and can't even be found here?

Today I stayed home from school. My nose is runny and my throat hurts. My throat started hurting like a week ago and I kept gargling mouth wash and then it would go away. But 2 days ago it came back over night and had progressed to far to be cured by mouthwash. Usually when I have a cold I get a sore throat 1-2 days before the cold and then it goes away when the cold symptoms come. This time the cold symptoms are mild (3rd day) but my throat still hurts. It doesn't hurt much today but yesterday it hurt rlly bad. And i have a lot of mucus build up/post nasal drainage going on in my throat. I've had strep once before but that was a long time ago
