How Long Does It Take For A Person To Get Well From Viral Gastroenteritis?
hi! I recently had the stomach flu and it was horrible! I had it for 2 days, felt fine but then the symptoms started again. I don't know if the virus is still in me but my question is, How long should a stomach flu last before it starts getting concerning?

Hello,
* The recovery time from the viral gastroenteritis is dependent upon the viral load, host immune response, medications consumed, dietary precautions and else.
* Proper care with hydration, dietary precautions to avoid spices, supportive care with symptomatic treatment usually help to resolve the issue within 3-4 days at the max in average cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
