Accepted Answer

Hello,

 

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. I'm sorry you are feeling to bad. Apple juice isn't a good choice since it can make diarrhea worse. Generally, the best liquids are water, broth, and electrolyte replacement fluid like Dioralyte. Anything caffeinated, carbonated, greasy, citrus, spicy, or dairy makes it worse. Paracetamol or ibuprofen will reduce fever and make you more comfortable. If this illness continues more than 4-5 days altogether, you should see your GP.
