Re: stomach virus
Unfortunately you can't. All you can do is try to limit what you put in until your stomach settles. Try sipping at ginger ale or plain coke classic which can help settle your stomach. Don't eat anything until you have vomited for several hours and have kept down fluids. Don't rush to eat too soon or it can start over. Try bland food first - like plain rice, bananas, crackers, chicken or beef broth. If that stays down you can try some plain scrambled eggs.
Make sure you get lots of gatorade to keep up your electrolytes and you can sip at tea too.
I know they sell something called emotrol at the drug stores over the counter that is supposed to help control nausea (I find sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't) but it is worth a try.
