How long does the flu last?

Question

The day after Christmas, I started feeling sick and threw up twice. I didn't eat that entire day, but had liquids that night. Yesterday, I just drank liquids. It's been over 48 hours since I've thrown up, but I am still not eating, just drinking fluids. I feel kind of weak, but I am afraid if I eat it will come up. I don't have any stomach ache at all. I am also do for my monthy any day now.
If I haven't thrown up in more than 48 hours, what are the chances of getting sick again if I eat?

I've really never had the flu. I'm 29 and the last time I threw up was when I was 7, after a surgery. So, I am new to this. Any help would be great.

I drink liquids and I did have some soup, but mostly it was broth and rice..

I don't have any respatory or cold like symtoms. I just feel sort of weak and a bit dizy, but not bad. Just tired I guess.

All the liqids I've had and the little bit of soup I had awhile ago have all stayed down. I want to ask if I start eating again, can the flu symtoms come back? thanks

Answer 1

You are probably weak and dizzy from not eating. Start off with something like toast and see how that feels. If you think it's ok you can just eat a light meal. Maybe some scrambled eggs.

Feel better

Answer 2

Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. Keep drinking fluids. Try to eat some soup(chicken and rice or something light) I doubt you will get sick at your stomach again, You need some nourishment. Eat! Try some crackers too/. If you are not a lot better by monday, best see a physician. You are not pregnant are you? If possible, see a physician and find out one way or the other.

Go to Webb MD website and get some advice. Cant hurt.
