- Keeping the child with the virus in a separate room is a good precaution - but it's not the only action you should take, Dr. Travis Stork says.

I've been living in the bathroom vomiting for the past 9 hours, haven't been this sick since 2nd grade
Try having a read of my comment if you're still sick, this sounds really bad, I hope you get better. Prayers for you my friend!
By comment I mean this: Idk if you poor souls are still here, but just some tips to make you feel better!
1. Farting and burping is super important, getting rid of gas stops acid build up which stops the worst part, being vomiting. Drink a LOTTT of water, and you can buy Hydralyte to put in that water from your local chemist, this relieves the pain and vomiting, as well as diarrhoea by a lot.
2. To stop spread, STAY HOME! It's crucial to stay home, only time to go outdoors is in your back or front yard for 20 minutes or so, as you can't eat many foods containing vitamins, it's crucial to get sunlight.
3. Keep yourself sweaty. Stay wrapped in blankets and warm, this will need you to drink a lot of hydrolysed water, as I mentioned before but it makes symptoms go away way faster!
4. Try and eat.. It may sound like torture, but the best thing you can eat is pretzels. Pretzels have a lot of the things your body lacks with gastroenteritis, and so it's crucial to chew on them a bit. It shouldn't make you vomiting, just have a sore stomach, and what I recommend for pain is Paracetamol, if you are 12+, if you are younger, try normal panadol in liquid form. If that doesn't work, try getting some prescribed medicine, as all of our bodies are different, preferably look for a medicine with Ibuprofen, it's sthe best drug you can have in medicine when you're sick with this type of virus.
5. Try not to stress. Take your day easy. Go with the flow. Listen to nice, calming music, it helps, please trust me.
I hope I made your life easier, as that was my goal. Please get better soon! Got all this advice from my mum, a registered nurse for 18 years, so if this helped, don't thank me, thank my mum 🤣 Thanks for the quick read!
Also hot baths can sooth the stomach. I'm on day 5 of this crap. Bout the only relief I can find. Cold sweats, bloating (horrible pressure), acid reflux, puking all day, horrendous stomach cramps, and went to the hospital and got iv. This shit sucks. I'm just ready for it to be over
Thank you both for your amazing advice! I got worse for a bit but i recovered after about three days and haven't had any problems since. Hope anyone else who's found their way into these comments get/stay healthy, remember that it will pass! Might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.
@@veraabel9035 good for you. I don't wish this on anyone. I'm on the decline but it still sucks

morewater made me vomit more. just tried to have small amounts so i dont get dehydrated.
Thank you!! (And say thanks to your mom too!)
Sick with the stomach flu or food poisoning rn, so this is a godsend
Mom??? I love you
Thank you and your mom
ty
I heard sleeping helps to get rid of it
Me who knows i have it because my stomach hurts and can’t sleep: 👁👄👁
If you have a fever and aches then you will be in bed. Make sure to prop yourself up a little bit on the headboard so that you're not laying flat down. Also amazing treatment is to add a heating pad on your stomach about 150 fahrenheit is good. Really helps with the terrible cramps and bloating..
@@adrianpale2342 I had it last week and so went to the doctors. I got prescriptions and drunk them all and felt good but now 2 days ago I started throwing up and going to the bathroom a lot. I always feel like throwing up but idk if it’s bc of the stomach flu or something else. Idk what to do.
@@adrianpale2342 thank you!! This really helped
I couldn’t really sleep last night due to the stupid stomach virus and I also have a cold😭
@@jessicalinbarnett bruh me too, I’m in pain rn and I need some dam company cuz this is the worst thing EVER.
IM ALREADY IN QUARANTINE!!!
Had a ambulance called for me since it got me pretty bad, stay safe 🙏
This just spread like wildfire thru my two kids and husband
Luckily I didn’t get it. I Lysol sprayed the home and wiped down the main touch areas, quarantined and it passed us in a day. Stay hydrated and wash hands as much as possible
Currently my situation
Lysol won’t actually do anything
I'm so much paaaiiiin.....
I can't hold in my waste ...
I'm vomiting everything I eat
😭😭I've never felt this much pain and I would hate it if I passed this to my husband
How are you feeling now?
Please update with your status there is a stomach virus going around my house!
Hey sorry for the late reply ....I went to the hospital and they gave me antibacterial and painkillers for five days .I made sure to use the guest room toilet and sanitize it every time I used it
Hope you feeling better ✨✨
@solarcat93 bleach everything or you’ll catch it soon
@solarcat93 hey I'm so sorry for the experience ....maybe you could try and advise them that the stomach bug is contagious esp on the toilet seat since diarrhea does splatter .Also advise them to go get checked...mine was completely gone by the third day without getting to my husband and daughter
Hope they feel better soon✨
I can't sleep, I can't stop pooping. ( I don't vomit when I get it, I poop. ) And my head is warm. Auggghhh.
I vomited last time and now I might as well be glued to the toilet seat... I feel so rubbish
My head is warm, too.
If you don’t vomit it’s not noro
First time I’ve had it in about 6 years and it’s killing me man I can’t stop vomiting
bro i just caught a stomach flu, feel like a baby, my dads over here helping a bunch but man i vomitted 13 times so far
Same here. I vomited twice today.🤒
I'm experiencing this right now, and so far the worst part is the cramps
Same for me today. I’m just pooping water it feels horrible
My poor 4 year old boy has it 😢 he is so scared and said his tummy hurts so bad
And the consent diarrhea 😢currently experiencing this right now
If your stomach feels like it has to take a shit but you can’t let it out, make a smoothie w a bunch of fruits and dates and lemme tell you, wait a few hours and it’s gonna coke poopin out. For your nausea try drinking tea w mint and carom seeds, it helps like a charm. Try drinking as much liquids as you can even if you’re scared of throwing it up. Good luck to whoever is reading this!
THANKS 💪🏽🔥💥😬
this is the worst sickness , feels like i’m slowly dying . it’s already day 5…
I feel bad :( how many days did it last for?
@@omundodogui2233 I think he died 😞
Oh dang I’m so sorry 😣 I hope you feel better stomach bugs suck
@@omundodogui2233 lasted ab 10 days
@@Random_loser0829 yes thank you luv, i feel way better!
I'm going thru it now and it's torture. I haven't felt anything this bad since I was 9 and I'm 42yrs old now. The diarrhea won't stop nor the vomiting. I tried sipping on a little chicken broth and had 4 crackers.... bad idea. Took some pepto to help ease the symptoms.... bad idea. Sipping a little pedialyte from time to time but that gets my stomach turning. I'm 3 days in and am a complete mess.
@Landon Smith Update: The torture slowed to almost a stop! I spoke to my doctor and he recommended Imodium AD caplets. After another explosive moment on the lower end I took 2 caplets with a FULL glass of pedialyte and it really really helped. At first I wasn't able to keep down a spoonful of broth let alone a full glass of anything. Now I can actually rest and recover. If you're not taking any other meds, give it a try. Ask your local pharmacist/primary care physician to be sure. I hope this info helps and I wish you a speedy recovery. 🙏🏾
Holy hell same here
I’m 16, but I haven’t been this sick since I was like 8 or 9 too
Sometimes the hospital with their really strong IV medications will do the trick if everything else doesn't work.
I’m shiting my life out right out
I did this 2 days ago while my son had stomach bug and guess what I got it today no matter how much I bleach and wipe wash my hands wear mask gloves I still got it ;(
I was told water in sips, clear apple juice, Gatorade in sips, alkaseltzer,ginger,probiotics, crackers. I'm coming out of it so to eat bananas, boiled eggs,potatoes,bland food like rice use iodized sea salt it's high in magnesium potassium or pink Himalayan salt for electrolytes to protect the heart 💓
I like that they brought the GIANT doctor on.
So what he basically is saying his more natural normal way of cleaning doesn't disinfect that if you want that kind of clean in your house you need bleach!!! Well I don't know about anyone else but when I clean my home I want both clean & disinfected!! So I am definitely staying with all the "harsh" chemicals I have always used my parents & grandparents used!! Not wasting my time with the natural stuff....
You & me both. Been using the "harsher" stuff for years with no problems, they'll have to pry my bleach out of my cold dead hands!!
@@gigglingboyinthebackground2902 bleach won't make you drop dead, you'll just eventually end up with cancer or tumors if not you then your kids probably will
Shit is toxic
People here looking for remedies - *Ginger root* capsules, whole, or tea
*Fennel* capsules or tea
Peppermint everything (essential oil, candy, tea)
*Carbonated flavored water* less sugar the better
*Pretzel or saltine crackers*
*Alka seltzer*
*Banana's with sugar free honey*
try to get all of this as Organic/non GMO as possible
I can relate to this, when it was April 21st during the pandemic in 2020. I had a stomach bug and I felt pain the entire day, I was only 11 years old when this happened.😭 And I am so scared it might happen again, because I'm only 13 and I will not be able to sleep if I have that pain while i'm in bed.
as you grow older (teenage years), your immune system tends to strengthen significantly, i had it when i was 9, 6 years ago, and its the first time getting it since then, it also most likely wont affect you for a while to come, because the only reason you got it is because its spreading right now. just wash your hands daily, wear a mask, and if you ever get it, stay inside, and go to a doctor if you cant hold ANY liquid or food. its extremely contagious, and tends to linger in the air for a long time. stay safe.
@@justsomeguymustache Good point...
I feel like I have it too... But I think it's because the food I cooked was undercooked
At this point i'm still very shocked with negative result i got after suffering from Norovirus for so long. Thanks once again Dr.Osaoji on youtube for your medication

i kept getting better and healed at a point but i was pooping so much that it was just water 2 days before i was healed i was so dehydrated that my heart hurt everytime i moved
Seems like a nightmare. When I had it, I had nausea all the time, and I felt very weak. I remember constantly going to the restroom and taking 10 minutes to vomit, including all of the gagging and also washing my mouth a million times. Every time I looked at my phone or at the tv, I always got nausea rapidly and had to run to the restroom right away. Not to mention the headaches.
@@omundodogui2233 IKR?
Omg me too I'm experiencing it rn 😢
@@fatimailustrisimo2057 I really hope you get better! It should go away in a week or less!
@@Aqua_Blox I don't feel nauseous anymore but my stomach hurts a lot and it make noises I think i have anxiety
Guys... Do the burps that come with this damn virus smell LANK BAD? Are they suppose to REAK like hell? The burps make me so nauseous with just that smell... And I've JUST started training for a job that I got. Murpheys law, the day I start I have to go through this....day two going on 3....and it's messed up
Yes!! When I had it and I would burp...it would smell so bad to the point I wanted to puke
Yup, it’s the stomach acid from not eating x
Sorry man. Day 3 was the worst for me
.....iiiiii YOH ! Sies 🙆♀️🙆♂️
I had a headache with it and it made me sick and sad
You and I both
do you ALWAYS throw up with a stomach virus or is it just nausea??
I've had it with just nausea and no vomiting. Really depends on your immune system response.
This shit was hell
How long did it take you to get rid of it I’ve had vomiting and straight water diarrhea for 6 days already only time I feel decent is when it’s late I’m tired and I have nothing in my stomach :(
I am just finally getting over mine this is day 7! Didnt have much diarrhea but the vomitting, i definitely relate. Have you been eating?
@@user1fja98dnaiid mine just started today I vomited and it sucks
@@jaytater2165 same
try burping so you don't throw up. Everytime i gt it i make myself burp to prevent the gas's buildup causn me to vomit
This hurts I have it rn.
i have a stomach bug and it hit me hard with a big vomit in the morning at my school
Me too but I puked on the bus and it was not good
@@eman_man2260 Oh! I'm sorry that you had to go through that.😔
*stomach growls* uh oh! *rushes to bathroom and comes out after 15 minutes* I still can’t poop the stomach bug out
I jus threw up 3 times today randomly
Ibuprofen will irritate your stomach lining and causes severe stomach pain. No ibuprofen. I’m on day 8 with gastritis from a virus. Ugh. Maylox can take every hour Omeprazle x1 daily and pepto bismol.
I have stomach virus and ringworm please give me some tips thank you.
Is the stomach bug is really a bug?

DanTheTreeMan bro no!!i be waking up in the night like 2 times with the worst pain and so horrible!but I don’t even throw up so it doesn’t come out!
This guy is a kook.
my son first had it on the weekend and I kneeeew I was about to catch it and Men I wasn't wrong. It started Tuesday feeling my stomach weird and bam! yesterday and today diarrhea non stop 🥲 Chills and stomach cramping. I need this to go awaaay!!!
I’m in the stomach feeling weird faze rn lol
Caught it twice last year ( one in April and on the 1st of January of 2024) April bug was from my little girl. She vomited all in a bucket and I tried to catch so it don't ruin the couch lol. Vomit and poops. January was just poops for me and my little girl. My wife on the other hand. She was suffering. A stomach bug can just cause pain. It can cause vomiting or diarrhea. Or all of the above. It just depends on your body and how it wants it gone.
