Hello,
Pain while walking in hip area along with flu and vomiting may suggest viral infection causing joint pain and flu-like symptoms. Medications like Ibuprofen, Ondansetron, and decongestant may relieve symptoms. If not relieved, your doctor will do some investigations to find the exact cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
