Why do you have diarrhea and nausea your throat hurts?

Diarrhea, nausea, and a sore throat are common symptoms of viral gastroenteritis, also known as the stomach flu. Viral gastroenteritis is an infection of the digestive tract caused by a virus. It is usually spread through contact with someone who is infected or by consuming contaminated food or water.

Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis can include:

Diarrhea

Nausea

Vomiting

Abdominal pain

Cramping

Loss of appetite

Fever

Chills

Headache

Fatigue

Muscle aches

A sore throat

Viral gastroenteritis usually lasts for a few days, but it can sometimes last for up to 10 days. Most people recover from viral gastroenteritis without any complications, but it can be more serious in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

If you have diarrhea, nausea, and a sore throat, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. You should also avoid eating solid foods until your symptoms improve. If your symptoms are severe or do not improve within a few days, you should see a doctor.
