I have viral infection,flu...i feel like im gonna puke..im 19,can i take peptobismol?


its written on it that children and teenagers with flu dont take peptobismol because of possibilty of reyes syndrome disease

At 19, you are pretty much out of the danger zone. Pepto-Bismol happens to contain salicylates, which are in aspirin and can cause Reye syndrome. If your flu is intestinal rather than respiratory, you have little to fear.
