    Try to stay as calm as possible because anxiety can cause nausea and increase the nausea you already have. Everyone recovers at different rates from a stomach bug. People don't always fit neatly into the text book timescale for recovery. It all takes time; simply wait it out and give your stomach the time it needs to get back to normal. Stick to bland, easy to digest foods; small sips of milk can help. Remember you got the bug only four days ago; you haven't had it that long!

      it can take up to a week to get over a tummy bug. you cant get re-infected by the same virus that quickly. you will be immune to that strain. as each day goes you will feel better. just eat light , small meals. hope u feel better real soon x
