Can you have stomach flu without a fever?
I've been having diarrhoea and nausea for two days, feeling quite weak, but my temperature is completely normal. Can one have stomach flu without a fever?

Honestly, yes, you can definitely have it without any fever. Last year my digestion went totally out of sync and I was feeling so drained, but my body temperature was absolutely normal. Just focus on taking rest and keeping your electrolytes up with coconut water so your body recovers well.

Yes, you can have a stomach infection without any fever. Please take good rest and sip some warm water or light black tea. I hope you feel much better very soon.

Yes, it is quite possible. With my thyroid issues, my body behaves very unpredictably when I get a stomach infection, and I rarely get a high fever with it. I always make sure to consult my doctor and get a basic blood panel done if the weakness doesn't go away in two days.

Absolutely, fever is not a compulsory symptom for stomach infections. Actually, most of my friends got this bug recently and only a couple of them got an actual fever. If you are feeling weak, just visit a clinic instead of waiting for a temperature to show up.

Don't make the mistake of ignoring it just because there is no fever. I once thought my stomach upset was nothing serious since my temperature was normal, and it turned into severe dehydration that needed an IV. Please get yourself checked by a doc before it gets worse.
