Having Bad Stomach Pains, Nausea And Diarrhea. Can It Be A Stomach Virus?

I am having bad stomach pains, nausea, and diarrhea. however, when I go to the bathroom there is barely anything coming out. This started last night around 2am. Can it be a Stomach Virus? How long do those usually last. Also, can drinking a boost help me feel better and not as weak?
