I’m not feeling well today. Not sure why but I’m feeling a bit fatigue and my stomach is throwing swear words at me. I don’t need to paint this picture any more than I already have, so you get it, right?
I’m hearing that alot of people are coming down with stomach virus’s which caused them to take off from work. The positive is that you lose weight with it but the bad thing is no one likes a stomach virus.
So what happens when you get a virus?
Drink plenty of liquids. A stomach virus often results in you vomiting or having diarrhea. If the diarrhea is very bad, then you have may become dehydrated. Drinking plenty of liquids such as water or sports drinks can help to replenish and hydrate your body. It will also help to get you well more quickly. If you get very dehydrated, you may get put in the hospital and put on an IV.
Take acetaminophen. Many people experience a fever that can run up as high as 104 degrees F. Taking a dose of acetaminophen can help to lower your temperature. Acetaminophen can also work to ease aches and pains associated with a stomach virus.
Get rest. When you have a stomach virus, you may feel tired and drained of energy. Getting plenty of rest is one of the best ways of treating this stomach virus symptom. You body heals itself while you are sleeping and this goes for when you are sick, too. Not getting enough rest can actually keep you from getting better.
Stay away from spicy or fried foods. Foods like gelatin, crackers and toast sit easy on a sick stomach and should be eaten. Chicken noodle soup is another food that won’t upset an already sick stomach.
