Does diarrhea or vomiting come first?
My son woke up feeling very sick this morning, and I'm trying to figure out what's happening. He started with a little nausea. When you have a stomach bug, does diarrhea or vomiting usually come first?

Mere ghar me toh jab bhi bache bimar hote hain, pehle ulti shuru hoti hai aur phir agle din se pet kharab hota hai. Aap bas unhe thoda sa nimbu pani aur namak-chini ka ghol pilate rahiye.
Usually vomiting starts first if it is food poisoning, followed by loose motions. Just keep ORS packets ready at home and don't eat outside food for a few days, it will solve most of the problem.
Honestly, they both love to team up and attack together at 2 AM when you have an early morning meeting. But usually, vomiting starts the party first in my experience.
In our family, vomiting usually comes first. I always give a small piece of ginger to chew to stop the nausea first, because once the vomiting stops, it is much easier to drink fluids for the diarrhea.
It is honestly so overwhelming when you don't know which symptom is going to hit you next. It is completely fine to feel miserable, just try to focus on taking small sips of water whenever you can.
There is no fixed order, it entirely depends on the type of virus or bacteria. If both start together, it is best to consult a doctor quickly online rather than waiting to see which one subsides first.
It varies from person to person as every body reacts differently to clean itself of toxins. Keep your thoughts positive, drink clean water, and let the body heal in its own time.
Haan na, it can happen in any order and it is so annoying. Usually vomiting starts first to throw out the bad food, then diarrhea starts. Take care of yourself.
I get so anxious when both happen together because it's hard to keep any medicine down. It usually starts with nausea for me, but please monitor your temperature as well to make sure it's not a severe infection.
For me, the vomiting started first and now my stomach is also feeling very upset. Is this how a normal stomach bug always behaves, or should I be more worried about this?
