I'm talking extreme nausea, headache, fever, or an overall bad case of the stomach flu.
Obviously i don't want to spread it to my roommate/s, so do most schools have a health center you can go to to get medicine and possibly sleep and spend the night?
Most have health centers where you can get medicine but you'll be sleeping in your room unless you get serious enough to require hospitalization. Flus and other things like that spread through dorms because thats where everyone has to stay. Some schools will let you have someone pick you up food if you call ahead though.
I think all schools have health clinics, but I don't think many (if any at all) of them have places where students can spend the night. Some people at my school go home if they're sick (and if they live relatively close) to avoid spreading it to their roommates, but that's really only if you're too sick to go to class.
There's really no other way to prevent it from spreading other than washing your hands a lot/disinfecting everything you touch, and even then, it's really easy for a virus to spread through an entire dorm within a week or two.
If you have an upset stomic, try taking some ginger root. And always wash your hands, you don't know what type of germs can be on it. Hope you are feeling better.
As others have said, there is a health center. If its closed or something then tough it out, unless its severe enough to have to go to the ER.
When I was in the dorms last semester, when 1 person got sick, most of the dorm ended up sick. Its what happens. Just try to be as considerate as you can (cover your nose/mouth when you sneeze/cough, etc).
