Suggest Treatment For Severe Body Pain And Vomiting While Suffering From Flu

I have had the flu for 3 days now. Feel very weak and standing for more than a couple of minutes causes me to feel like throwing up/fainting. Also causes me to break out into a sweat. I have intense pain just below the ribs on the left hand side which is also felt to my waist.I have mild diarrhea and when I complete any sort of movement even if just getting up and going to the tiolet, when I sit/lie down again my heart is racing.I am a 53 year old female, fairly fit (go to gym 3x a week) who never gets sick! I guess the only thing I can do is sleep when I can, take lots of paracetamol and drink fluids? I haven't had a flu like this for over 20 years

Hello, certain viral fevers are associated with severe body aches and pains. Sometimes those body aches may persist few days , 1or 2 weeks after fever settles. Dengue fever also is notorious for bodypains. I don't know which part of the world you live in. If your area endemic for dengue, better to check your blood tests and exclude that.
You can take paracetamol 6 hourly
Brufen 8 hourly
If you have runny nose loratadine or fexofenadine
For vomiting you can take domperidone or maxalon.
Take bedrest until fever settles. Take adequate fluids. Hope this helps. Get well soon. Thank you.
