Hi, Im a 23 year old female. Every single time the day before I get the flu (fever) I have this annoying feeling in my stomach. It feels like I have butterflies in my stomach, that feeling you get when youre nervous about something. Its just this tingling sensation. And everytime I have this feeling I know that Im gonna have the fever the next time and everytime I do. How come? Hows that possible and how does that work? I am really wondering as Ive had it a couple of times already over the last few years. Thanks for your answer.
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. The flu infection can lead to headache, generalized body ache, sore throat and omitting, diarrhea sometimes. Here you might have simple muscular pain over stomach area because of flu.Otherwise, pain may be because of gastritis secondary to viral infection. For pain relief take simple analgesic. If pain continues and gastritis suspected then omeprazole is taken for few days. I don't think here much for worry about that. Just try to get recover from flu with more water, green vegetables, fruits etc. Avoid spicy food. As soon as flu over, pain will mostly subside. I hope my suggestion will help you. If still no benefit then further work up done. Thanks
