10 Stomach Flu Symptoms

Symptom #7: Fatigue
Fatigue can be a common symptom, especially in viral gastroenteritis. Patients define it as tiredness or a complete lack of physical energy. It can occur with other nonspecific symptoms like fever, headache, body aches and chills. Therefore, the presence of fatigue can lead to confusion between the flu and gastroenteritis. The flu is a respiratory illness caused by influenza virus and it rarely causes vomiting and diarrhea.
Fatigue can persist for several weeks after the illness has resolved.
