Managing a Stomach Virus:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink clear fluids like water, herbal teas, and electrolyte solutions to replace lost fluids due to vomiting and diarrhea.
• Rest: Allow your body time to recover by getting plenty of rest. Avoid strenuous activities until you start feeling better.
• Ease Back Into Eating: Start with bland, easy-to-digest foods such as crackers, toast, rice, bananas, and applesauce once you feel able. Avoid spicy, fatty, or highly seasoned foods until your stomach settles.
• Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and hard-to-digest foods that could further irritate your stomach.
• Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom and before eating or preparing food, to prevent the spread of the virus to others.
• Consider Over-the-Counter Medications: Anti-diarrheals and anti-nausea medications may help alleviate symptoms, but consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication, especially if you have other health conditions or are on other medications.
• Seek Medical Attention if Necessary: If symptoms are severe, persistent, or if you develop complications like dehydration, high fever, severe abdominal pain, or bloody stools, seek medical attention promptly.

Remember, a stomach virus typically resolves on its own within a few days, but managing symptoms can make the recovery process more comfortable. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.
