Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe headaches and stomach upset while suffering from flu which seems to be due to gastroenteritis or secondary to stomach infection. It could be due to viral infection as well which leads to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid stress. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration. Avoid fast foods, carbonated drinks & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc. You should avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to lessen use of milk and milk products. You should take tab norflox tz twice daily with tab lomotil twice daily for 3 days. You should take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
