Is A Stomach Bug Causing Vomiting And Nausea Contagious?

I have had a stomach bug for a few days. I was extremely nauseated and threw up 3 days ago, but now, it is only light nausea. Do you think I am contagious now? All symptoms have disappeared except for a little nausea that Emitrol seems to counter.

Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that you are suffering from acute gastroenteritis. It has a faeco oral mode of transmission i.e it transmits by ingestion of contaminated food or water. It is not contagious i.e does not transmit by touch or droplet infection. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
