i have been sick for 2 days?

Question

i had a flu shot 4 months ago, well yesterday i woke up with bad diaherra and i felt like i had to thow up, i had the cold sweats and hot sweats, no appetite, what is this and what can i do to make my self feel better

Answer 1

first of all-an allergic reaction to the flu shot would have presented itself within 24 hours after getting it.

sounds like just a stomach virus-these can take anywhere from 24 hours to a week to clear. viruses don't have cures so you'll have to wait it out-the dr will not prescribe anything for it.

to help ease the symptoms

-use the brat diet until the diarrhea subsides (B-bananas,R-rice,A-applesauce,T-toast). this will help firm up your stool by adding more fiber to your diet

-avoid spicy or high sugar foods-these can make the diarrhea and nausea worse

-suck on peppermint candies-this will help ease the nausea (saltine crackers will too)

-push fluids. dehydration is most commonly caused by diarrhea and vomiting in addition to people not wanting to drink b/c they are sick.

water is the best thing for you but drinking gatorade and things like sprite,7-up, or sierra mist will help too. you can also try pedialyte-it's designed for kids but i find the fruit punch flavor to taste ok. it has the electrolytes in it that your body needs that are lost w/diarrhea and vomiting.

take nyquil at nite to help ease your symptoms and help you sleep.

rest during the day when your body tells you to-rest is the best thing for a speedy recovery.

good luck to you

Answer 2

PLEASE try these 3 remedies...EVERY time I feel run-down or get that tickly feeling in my throat I take these 3 things and it NEVER turns into a full-blown cold.

1) Olive Leaf Extract by "Herb Pharm"....it's in liquid form, and has no side effects...it immediately goes to work to kill any viruses in you...and it's all natural.

2) "JarrowDophilus", by "Jarrow Formulas"...it will keep the healthy "flora" in your body in perfect balance which keeps your immune system strong.

3) "Emergen-C" Vitamin C packets by "Alacer"

All three can be purchased at "Whole Foods Market", possibly "Trader Joe's", or call your local health food store to inquire about these 3 products.

EVERY friend and family member who has taken this advice, hardly ever gets sick.
