8. Nausea and Vomiting
Some types of viral infections affect the stomach, causing the development of nausea and vomiting. Since vomiting can lead to dehydration, drinking plenty of clear fluid is critical.
Nausea is a concern when it accompanies a headache, rash and fever. This combination of symptoms may be an indication of viral meningitis. This is a complication of many different types of viral infections where the lining of the brain and spinal cord are inflamed.6‘Viral Meningitis.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 6 Aug. 2019, www.cdc.gov/meningitis/viral.html.
