Brief Answer:
Not the flu but another kind of virus

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.

This is not the flu.
But it looks like its a viral Gastrointestinal infection.
It starts with one day of vomiting and then 3-5 days of diarrhea. The other symptoms are because of dehydration.

Drink plenty of fluids its very important - small amounts but often.
Have a diet with banana -apple- rice- toast.
Take a probiotic.

If you notice blood or mucus in the diarrhea, its time to see a local doctor.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
