Has any of you ever had stomach flu? What were your symptoms and how long did it last? I think I caught the virus from my son who started got it last week. He vomitted three times within a day, was feverish,had no appetite and complained of stomach pain. He's more or less recovered now after medication. Now my stomach feels weird and I also lost my appetite for food.

In summer here,people are liable to catch stomach flu whose main symptoms are vomiting,diarrhea due to exterior cold with interior dampness marked by chills,fever,headache,fullness sensation and oppressed feeling in the chest and abdomen,abdominal pain ,etc.We usually cure the kind of disease with a Chinese medicine by the name of Powder of wrinkled gianthyssop herb for Restoring Health.

Hmmm... I wonder if this medicine is sold over here too in the Chinese medical shops? What's it called in Mandarin?

The stomach flue of coure is no fun and i hope you get better in a couple of days. You do have symptopms usually of thoriwng up and diareah. There isnt much medicine you can take but to just get through it but tylenol or advil will help you out some and help with the fever of course. Take some warm baths and putting a heating pad on your tummy will probably help with the pain as well. Good luck and keep mylotting

So far, I have not vomitted but this morning had diarrhoea about three times. Thanks for your advice, will use a heating pad if the pain becomes unbearable.
