Is vomiting a symptom of influenza?
Been feeling really sick with body aches and a cough. Today I also started vomiting. Is vomiting a symptom of influenza, or is it something else I should be concerned about?

Yes, it definitely can be, especially in children! 🤒 While adults mostly get the typical body ache and cough, kids often get tummy issues like vomiting with the flu. Keep those electrolyte packets ready!
I remember panicking so much when my son had influenza and started vomiting. I thought it was some severe complication, but the doctor assured us it is a normal response to high fever and excess mucus. He was totally fine in three days.
Bro, I got hit by the flu last winter and threw up twice on the first day. The weakness was crazy, and the nausea made it impossible to eat. It is absolutely a symptom, so just rest and drink warm water.
In my experience of managing family health, influenza can sometimes present with gastrointestinal symptoms, though respiratory ones are more common. Keep the patient hydrated with warm soups and barley water. If vomiting is severe, do seek medical advice.
When I had diagnosed influenza, I experienced severe nausea and threw up once. I cannot say if it is a standard symptom for everyone, but that was my personal experience. It is always better to consult your physician for confirmation.
Haan, flu me vomiting hona kaafi common hai, isme darna nahi chahiye. Body cough aur cold ke saath heavy ho jaati hai na, toh digestion kharab ho hi jata hai. Bas thoda garam paani piyo aur light khana khao.
I didn't know influenza could cause vomiting, I thought it was only dry cough and runny nose. My sister is currently throwing up and has a high fever. Should we go to a clinic immediately or wait for a day?
