no eight days would not be considered normal for gastroenteritis (vomitiing nauses diarrhea). men can be stubborn but what can you do if he refuses to seek medical care? zofran only helps the vomiting. nothing else. most of these occurences are viral and viruses tend to last about a week. since he has exceeded that normal time span it would be in his best interest to consult his medical provider. there are no medication that will cure stubborness.
is it normal to have stomach bug for 8 days so far and still counting? . my toddler had it on and off for 5 days. my husband has had it now for 8 days and still counting. he is still sick with it. he won't go to the doctor. he has taken zofram a couple days but it did not help.
