Could I? (stomach flu)?

Question

So I got the stomach flu last night: shivers, fever, weakness, and, well, you know the rest, and now i feel much better, there isnt any fever, but my body still feels a little weak though, and I've been headin to the bathroom like 5 times already.

What I want to know is should I stay at home and in bed? Because I've been invited to a formal Quinceanera (sweet 16 party, but 15), but I dont know if I can go...

Answer 1

You're feeling weak because you're probably dehydrated from all the "other stuff." Not a good idea to go to the party for several reasons: you may have something contagious that your friends could get; you may become even more dehydrated from sweating and/or drinking (if you do that); or you could embarrass yourself really badly if you can't get to a bathroom on time.

Answer 2

Do NOT under any circumstances attend that Quinceñera!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how many outbreaks I have investigated where one person who has the stomach flu (which is EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS) attends an event and gets 300+ people sick. Weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthday parties, retirements, conventions, etc. These events have been RUINED because one guy thinks he's okay enough to go, and winds up getting EVERYBODY sick.

Don't be that guy. Send the birthday girl a dozen roses and a card. But don't go to her party!!!

If you have the stomach flu, you can still be contagious two to seven days after you have recovered from your symptoms (recovery time is shorter in healthy young folks like you).

Sorry hombre, but you need to stay home this time.

Answer 3

You might feel a bit ill whilst you are there and probably won't enjoy it. If I were you I'd stay in bed and get yourself 100% better.

Answer 4

um... if u feel weak.like really weak dont go. unless otherwise, figure it out ur-self!

Answer 5

I hope you can go and i hope you feel better. I think if you are feeling better you should go.
