Had the Flu for the last few days |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I've had a flu like virus for the past few days, (Diarrhea, nausea, low fever, fatigue). It's been getting better but now i'm noticing that my diarrhea went from several times a day to in the last couple days only happening in the morning and not being very lose but then being completely fine for the rest of the day. Is there something wrong? Dear Sig: I understand your worry about your morning diarrhea. Surely it looks that you had a viral process that is ending. Since you had an increase in your bowel movements, the intestines need time to regulate the absorption and retention of fluids. This sometimes takes up to 10 to 14 days and is still considered normal.I would suggest you to keep hydrating yourself and avoid fat and heavy foods until full recovery. I wish you the best. |
