How To Tell If Someone Has The Flu

Vomiting Episodes

Vomiting, as well as nausea, is associated with certain types of flu, including gastroenteritis as well as swine flu (from the H1N1 strain). Gastroenteritis is often called the stomach flu, but it is not the same as influenza. Vomiting in other cases of the flu is uncommon, though it can occur. If vomiting episodes are frequent and persistent, affected individuals need to go to the doctor. This may mean there is a complication or they are dealing with more than the flu or something different. Vomiting is exhausting and contributes to dehydration.
