If you had the flu


Question Posted Tuesday October 30 2007, 1:04 pm

..If you had the flu, and you threw up, well what if you got up and jumped around or something, and then you threw up again, and did the same thing over and over for a few times, what would happen?


would you lose alot of weight? or could possibly die?

p.s. i'm not doing this, or going to, i just always wondered that, and i get scared when i get the flu, i'm afraid i'm gonna keep throwing up and throwing up):
thankks!

well no matter how much you throw up, you will only lose as much weight as how long you had the flu. for example, if you have it for 3 days you are likely to lose 3 lbs. or so. But all of that is water weight and will be gained back in a few days. This happens because once all of the food you had eaten is thrown up, all you do is throw up stomach acid.

now, this is dangerous because it will ware away your esophogus. the acid will discolor your teeth and burn your throat. but you will not die.

hope i answered your question

You would run out of liquid in your stomach and just gag, with nothing coming out of your mouth. This doesn't cause much harm, and it's nothing to worry about. You will not lose any more weight than you lose from not eating, and you won't die unless it goes on for many days(see a doctor after 2 days).

It's like smoking; 1 or even 100 cigarettes are not going to cause any noticeable harm, but if you make it part of your life it will.
