Duration of stomach flu depends on the severity of the attack. The condition may become worse in case of infants, young children and elderly who cannot drink sufficient fluids to compensate for dehydration experienced during the illness. For these people, stomach flu can last for 3 weeks or more.
Signs and Symptoms. Symptoms of botulism begin between 3 to 30 days after an infant ingests the spores. Constipation is often the first sign of botulism that parents notice (although there are many other causes of constipation). Call your doctor if your baby hasn't had a bowel movement in 3 days.
