Will Stomach Flu Takes Long Time To Recover?
My six year old had the stomach flu (vomiting and diarrhea) on Friday. It lasted for about 16 hours. More diarrhea than vomiting. It is now Wednesday, he is back to a normal diet, (solid foods and water) but he is still pooping yellow (no more diarrhea), complains he still feels sick to his stomach occasionally. Should it take this long to recover?
