SYMPTOMS OF STOMACH FLU

Common symptoms of a stomach bug include:¹

• Diarrhoea
• Nausea and vomiting
• Stomach cramps
• Loss of appetite

A more serious infection can cause fever, chills, body aches and fatigue.¹

HOW STOMACH FLU AFFECTS THE REST OF YOUR BODY

When you have stomach flu, it’s not just your stomach you need to worry about. Viral gastroenteritis can easily lead to dehydration, which puts strain on your other organs, like your liver and kidneys.² Dehydration can also put strain on your heart by causing low blood pressure and a rapid heart rate.³
After having a stomach bug, you may also suffer from “post-viral syndrome”.⁴

WHAT IS POST-VIRAL SYNDROME?

Post-viral syndrome or post-viral fatigue is a feeling of weakness and low energy after recovering from a viral illness, like influenza or a stomach virus.⁴
If you have post-viral fatigue, you might feel drained of energy for weeks or even months after fighting off the bug.⁴ Other common symptoms may include aches and pains, difficulty concentrating, headaches, a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes.⁴
