What Causes A Mild Flu And Nausea?

I am a female and I got my period January 19 and got done with it January 24. Well 2 days later I started puking at like 3:00 in the morning and I thought it was the flu but it only lasted till 11:00 a.m. And I got the crazy idea in my head that it was morning sickness but I have never had sex. So can the flu only last that long?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of mild flu and nausea which seems to be due to infection sometimes which occurs when immunity goes low person become susceptible to getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day, do betadine gargles twice a day and consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with antiemetic depending on cause. Avoid intake of outside food. Avoid cold carbonated beverages and hot spicy and sharp food substances. Drink plenty of fluids and diet rich in multivitamins. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
