Home Remedies for Stomach Virus

Many health problems occur in the stomach as a result of viral infection. If your son is suffering from stomach virus, you can try some of the following home remedies for him:

  • Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the most effective cures for stomach virus. Drinking apple cider vinegar in combination with apple juice can be easier to consume.


    This also helps in treating nausea and variety of health conditions.
  • Traditionally people used to drink soda, sprite or ginger ale for alleviating stomach pain. Sprite and soda contain high amounts of sugar that helps in killing stomach virus.


    Studies have revealed that even Pepsi is a powerful cure for stomach virus. Drinking warm Pepsi can help in considerably reducing your intensity of stomach pain and help relive nausea. You can even add drops of lemon to Pepsi and drink the mixture to kill virus residing in your stomach.
  • Cranberry Juice is another great way of getting rid of stomach viruses. Acidity produced by drinking cranberry juice helps in relieving nausea and killing stomach virus. This remedy may not work effectively if combined with other cocktails or juices.
  • Peaches are also good for curing stomach virus. Like sprite and Pepsi, peaches also have good amount of sugars that hampers the activity of stomach virus and helps to alleviate stomach pain.
