What do you do if your whole intire family has the flu ? |
During our family trip my cousin started to through up when we were visting and 15 people in our family has caught it what should we do we already have ginger ale and 7 up not to mention a throw- up bag and crackers what should we do? we have the FLU Wash hands frequently, get a can of lysol for the bathroom and spray down the fixtures and door handles. There are two stomach flus crossing the US right now. One you spike a high fever and are sick for 72 hour period, little ones with this are getting sore throats and ear infections. The other flu is lower gi/vomiting. No fever or sore throat, but you are sick for 3-4 days of nausea, so become prone to dehydration. Just a note: this is not the flu, as in influenza (caused by the influenza viruses). This is probably viral gastroenteritis, caused by a number of GI viruses. If someone is well enough to go to the store, stock up on Gatorade. It's VERY important to stay hydrated when you're vomiting or having diarrhea, so drink it, even if you just throw it right back up. If anyone begins to exhibit signs of dehydration (tenting of skin, confusion, dry mouth, etc.), call 911 to get them to the ER! Go to the hospital. |
