Gastrointestinal Issues

The seasonal flu shouldn’t be confused with the stomach flu, also known as gastroenteritis, but sometimes the two can cause similar distress in the digestive system. It is more rare in adults than in children, yet all age groups can potentially have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea.

For adults who start vomiting during the flu, it is recommended to seek medical attention. This usually means that your flu is transitioning from acute to severe.
