How long does vomiting last with stomach flu?

My husband has a stomach flu, and he's been vomiting a lot. He's very weak now. I'm wondering how long this vomiting phase usually lasts so I can plan his recovery better.

Stomach flu mein vomiting toh usually ek do din hi rehti hai ho na? Kabhi kabhi thoda zyada bhi, like teen din. Main baat hai ki pani peete raho aur rest karo. Bohat exhausting hota hai.

Oh, stomach flu is no joke. I made the mistake of trying to push through once, thinking it would pass, and ended up completely drained and dehydrated. The vomiting usually lasts 1-3 days. If it's severe or you can't keep any fluids down, please get checked by a doctor right away. Don't take chances.

Ugh, stomach flu is the worst! I had it last semester, and the vomiting part was pretty intense for about 24-36 hours, then it slowly went away. After that, it was mostly just feeling weak and gross for another day or two. Just keep sipping water!

Stomach flu is so debilitating, I understand the struggle. While I often rely on ginger tea and light food for stomach issues, with flu, the vomiting usually lasts 1-3 days. The most important thing is to prevent dehydration. If it prolongs or gets too severe, consulting a doctor is absolutely necessary.

My son had stomach flu last month, and the vomiting lasted almost 2 days non-stop, it was so worrying. The pediatrician told us it's usually 24-72 hours. The key is small, frequent sips of ORS to prevent dehydration. If it doesn't stop, go back to the doctor immediately.

For stomach flu, the vomiting usually lasts about 1-3 days. But symptoms can vary. My advice is always to go to a good hospital or a trusted doctor. They can assess your specific condition and advise you clearly on what to do and when to worry. Don't rely on guesswork.
