Does influenza b cause vomiting?
My little niece has been quite unwell with what the doctor thinks is influenza B. She's been vomiting a lot. Is it common for influenza B to cause vomiting, especially in children?

Haan yaar, actually it can happen, especially with kids. Last year my nephew had influenza B and he was vomiting quite a bit. Just keep them hydrated with ORS.
I totally get it, vomiting along with a body ache is just the worst feeling. It completely saps your energy. Please take complete rest and don't force yourself to eat heavy meals right now.
It can cause nausea and vomiting, which makes taking leaves from work even more stressful. Don't drag it out trying home remedies. Consult a doctor quickly so you can get the right anti-vomiting drops and recover faster.
I was actually reading about this yesterday because my roommate is sick. Apparently, stomach issues like vomiting are way more common with flu strains in kids than adults, but adults can get it too. Hope you feel better soon.
I have PCOS so my immunity is already a bit tricky. When I had flu-like symptoms with vomiting, I didn't want to take any chances with dehydration affecting my hormones. It is best to talk to your doctor and eat very light food.
My family physician explained that while influenza is primarily a respiratory illness, gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea are actually quite common with Influenza B, particularly in younger patients. He recommended small sips of water instead of gulping.
It is honestly exhausting when you have a bad flu and can't even keep water down. I felt so helpless and drained last time it happened to me. Please take care of yourself, it gets better.
