When Should I go to the doctor for my flu?

I have not been able to keep anything down since friday night. and that for the most part includes water. i puke about 4-5 times a day, and starting last night i have been dizzy. I'm really achey and just overall miserable. any advice? when do i know if im dehydrated? because my eyes hurt and my skin is dry now... im really worried im dehydrated.

you don't sound like you have the flu... it sounds more like a gastro-intestinal issue. The flu usually doesn't cause the puking you describe in adults, normally only kids will puke. At this point if it is the flu its too late to do anything. If you had gone within 48 hours of the initial symptoms you could have gotten tamiflu and it would have helped but at this point if its the flu you can only treat the symptoms.
