how long does stomach flu last?

stomach flu occurs when a viral infection inhabits the stomach and intestine. Another name for it is "viral gastroenteritis. The stomach flu typically lasts between one and three days. You can better your chances of a quick recovery by consuming only liquids and clear foods (such as chicken broth) while you are sick.

What If Stomach Flu lasts longer than three days? A warning..

Call your doctor if your stomach flu lasts longer than three days, or if you suspect it might be something else. Stomach flu has many of the same symptoms as food poisoning, so it is best to see a doctor immediately if you suspect you may have food poisoning and not the stomach flu.
