Can we catch the same strain of stomach flu twice in 10 days?

Yes, it is possible to catch the same strain of a stomach virus more than once, although it is more likely to happen a few weeks or months later. This could be due to a relapse of the same episode of gastroenteritis or from being infected by a different contaminant. It is important to practice good hygiene by washing hands frequently and cleaning surfaces and toys to help prevent the spread of the virus.
