Still no appetite 9 days post stomach bug.

My family and I were hit with a stomach bug last tuesday, i was one of the last ones to get it and thankfully my symptoms weren't that bad. i threw up twice, no diarrhea, and just had realllyyy bad aches and a low fever that really weakened me. the next morning i already felt better but now it's over a week later since i was sick and my appetite is still pretty messed up and i've also been constipated. 

i've been slowing eating more and more, and i do feel hungry but whenever i eat i get pretty bad nausea about 30 minutes later. and i get nausea if i go too long without eating as well. sometimes i have to force myself to eat but that's also gotten a bit better. but anyone else feel like this so long after a bug? i also haven't thrown up in ages, like in 15 years, so i'm wondering if that's why it's taking so long to feel normal again.

a part of me is worried about it but a few family members who got it as well are also still feeling off. i guess i just feel like i have it the worst, i don't know it could be my anxiety speaking but i am wondering if there's anything i can do to my body recover.

 

Hi lori90460

It can take some time to recover from a stomach bug...try not to eat too much and feed the germ...take lots of fluids to wash out the germ and for the constipation...best wishes...

It takes time to recover from a bug; try not to worry and wait it out.
