<human>: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... i suspect my 17 yr old daughter has norwalk related flu. vomiting, diarrhea and bad aches and headache. can i give her acetaminophen? she is now seeming to keep liquids down and i am wondering if this will help re pain and aches.
<bot>: HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Yes, the paracetamol would help with the aches and pain that she is experiencing. At her age, she can use adult doses of 1 g every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Probiotics would help shorten the course of diarrhea. They can be used on their own or with certain yogurts. Once she is symptom free for at least 4 hours, she can increase the fluids and also start small amounts of Chat Doctor. I hope this helps
