Answer 1

If you have a virus or a bug, it has to run its course. The best you can do is treat the symptoms. Follow the BRAT diet:
B - bananas
R - rice
A - applesauce
T - tea
This is a bland diet so will calm your diarrhea and help with the nausea. The tea will settle your stomach plus you need the fluids to flush your system. Get rest!

Stay away from fluids that are not clear such as milk, cream soups, etc...these will upset your stomach even more. Also avoid juices since the acid content will increase your nausea.

If you are running a fever, you need to see a doctor to find out what is going on. Also, if you are sick for more than 48 hours, please see a doctor as it may be more than a virus or a bug. Hope you feel better soon!
