How To Treat A Stomach Bug?

Drink small sips of water, oral rehydration solution, or clear fluids often

Rest as much as possible

Eat bland foods if tolerated, such as toast, rice, bananas, applesauce, or crackers

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, greasy foods, spicy foods, and dairy if they worsen symptoms

Wash hands frequently to prevent spreading the infection

Stay home and avoid preparing food for others until symptoms improve

Use over-the-counter fever or pain medicine only as directed on the label

Seek medical care if you cannot keep fluids down, have signs of dehydration, severe abdominal pain, blood in vomit or stool, high fever, or symptoms lasting more than a few days
