I just had stomach flu 2 nights ago and now have regular flu/ cold. What can I take? I'm 3 weeks post surgical a bit scared and really miserable. Thank you.

I was just in the hospital for a week was a serious case of gastrointestinal infection. I was pumped with 30# of fluid by the time I left. When I left on Friday my surgeon told me to stick with the mushy food for another week.

Have you gone to see your doc? Even just your primary, would be my advice. Hope you feel better.

Call your primary.

Fluids, fluids, fluids.

Thanks to you all, will be going in tomorrow. Wish this all hadn't occurred over the weekend. Fluids are going in fine but have to be room temp or warm tea and broth.

Hate the onset of evenings when fevers go up and you feel worse in general. Using my post surgical pain meds and anti nausea. So much drainage that tummy is very irritated plus all the coughing/sneezing is making main incision and port sore. Hanging in there.

So sorry it hit you so hard it landed you in hospital. 30# of fluids would totally waterlog you, hope you weren't that dehydrated and that some of that was preventative fluids.

Leepers, nice to see you all over the board.
