ok i am 15 years old and i have been sick for about a week off and on. i am vomiting and my stomach hurts like crazy. it is like cramps but much worse. i went to the doctor and they said it was most likely the flu but im not so sure i dont have any other syptoms. does anyone have any other ideas of what it might be? i will have to go to the doctor again if it continues much longer. have any idea what it might be so i am more prepared. i am tired of worrying over what might be nothing.no meds have helped.thanks

A week seems a little long for the flu, but so many things cause vomiting there's no way to tell without knowing all the symptoms and having a doc examine you. Sometimes vomiting itself can cause nausea because of losing too many electrolytes (which are replaced with drinks like Gatorade). Probably no need to start worrying, but it might be time to see a gastroenterologist.
