Got Sick, Need Help
There are days when I would want to do everything just to have house help doing the chores for me. She doesn’t have to wear scrubs nor any uniforms, as long as she does what is supposed to be done at home: washing dishes, doing the laundry, cooking, sweeping and most of all, waking up early to cook packed lunch for the kids.
I got stomach flu for a few days and it was not something I look forward to in the near future.
Symptoms of stomach flu or gastroenteritis include:
- diarrhea
- nausea
- abdominal cramps, and
- vomiting
- Some symptoms may include low-grade fever.
This is highly contagious especially if this is bacterial, viral or parasitic in nature so it is best to wash hands every time especially after going to the bathroom or keep a hand sanitizer at all times.
Be sure to take lots of fluids and rest. Fluids will help avoid dehydration which causes more complications than the condition’s symptoms.
The BRAT diet is recommended before going back to regular diet: banana, rice, apples and toast.
This three-day illness which snapped out the energy in me. I felt faint, not hungry, bloated, had headache, wasn’t able to sleep and not burping.
Now I’m better. I think, except for that bitter taste in the tongue which made me crave for boiled eggs. I had two just a while ago. Gah.
