Feeling a bit "bleurgh" 🤢 ? Stomach bugs can be very unpleasant but usually clear up by themselves within a couple of days.

If you are unwell with diarrhoea or vomiting you should:

✔️ stay off work or school until at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
✔️ avoid visiting anyone in hospital during this time.
✔️ wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water particularly after using the toilet and before preparing or handling food.
✔️ drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
✔️ take paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
✔️ get plenty of rest.
✔️ use special rehydration drinks, available from community pharmacies if you have signs of dehydration, such as a dry mouth or dark urine.
✔️ if you feel like eating try plain foods such as soup, rice, pasta and bread
