Stomach virus

[ANewMe83 21]

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?

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....

The reason the doctor gave me antibiotics because I was throwing up.

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>

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.

Maybe you meant antiemetics and not antibiotics. Antiemetics are for vomiting.
