Does flu b cause vomiting?

My daughter caught flu B from school and she's been vomiting a lot, which is really concerning. I didn't think flu B caused vomiting. Does flu B actually cause vomiting, or is it something else?

Yes, Flu B can cause vomiting. As a diabetic, vomiting is very risky because it can lead to dangerous drops in blood sugar or diabetic ketoacidosis. Please monitor your sugars closely and contact your doctor immediately.

It can cause vomiting, which leads to dehydration and can fluctuate your blood pressure levels. Make sure to monitor your BP if you have hypertension, and get a doctor to check you if you cannot keep fluids down.

Listen, Flu B can cause vomiting and stomach upset, especially in kids. Keep giving ORS to prevent dehydration, but if the vomiting is severe or there is blood, go straight to the hospital.

Oh absolutely, Flu B loves to give you the double gift of coughing and running to the washroom! Just stick to plain khichdi and ORS for a couple of days, and you will be back to normal.
