ANewMe83 21 Posted November 14, 2015 Good morning, I wanted to know if anyone know anything good for me to take to get rid of the stomach virus. I've been having it for a little over a week. Thursday, i went to the ER and was given antibiotics through an IV and was given meds to take home. I'm still feeling horrible. Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
animallover1247 249 Posted November 14, 2015 You've had a stomach virus for an entire WEEK? Why did they give you antibiotic for a virus? Antibiotics are given for bacterial infections, not viruses. It sounds like you have something else going on besides a stomach virus. I would be seeking additional medical treatment.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANewMe83 21 Posted November 14, 2015 The reason the doctor gave me antibiotics because I was throwing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuilterGal 216 Posted November 15, 2015 I don't understand the antibiotics either. Every time I've had a stomach virus, my doctor has said that I just have to let it pass. I've always been told to make sure I hydrate, even if it's ice chips.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelface811 100 Posted November 16, 2015 I agree with the other posts. I would seek out either another opinion or clarification of your diagnosis and treatment. Antibiotics are pretty hard on the stomach as well. Best of luck to you. I hope you feel better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyTink 268 Posted November 16, 2015 Maybe you meant antiemetics and not antibiotics. Antiemetics are for vomiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
