You are describing exactly what my husband has! He has been to the doctor who told him it is a viral infection (I read that as 'a bad cold'). His stomach also feels unsetled, but he has not been sick and is now also into his third day. i think it is just a typical winter sniffle bug that seems to be going round.

I would not worry about it turning into a vomiting bug - that comes on very suddenly and you would have had it by now.

Keep warm, drink plenty of healthy fluids and you will soon be back on your feet. Hugs from Annie :hugs:

It does sound like the viral bug that everyones getting at the mo. In a weird way I take comfort knowing that others have it because then at least I know it IS just a bug thats going round! Its when im the only one with something I start to freak out.... Hope u feel much better soon hun xxx

Anytime I had the flu it came with a fever.
Where as a cold came with the sore throat, head, runny nose, cough and lack of energy.
Either way they can be hard to shift and hang around for ages.
Drink lots of soups and take vitamin C.
Soup is good as it hydrates you and often has added vitamins :)

Same here, I'm full of cold but I also keep feeling sick and dizzy.

Hope we're all well soon.
