I went to urgent care I do have impetigo. I am on Valtrex and amoxicillin plus Mupirocin ointment. I took the horse pills already. I have had cold sores before but never this bad where it's turned into impetigo. I made it there just before they closed early. As of right now we have a snow storm and about 5 inches of snow with more coming.
"Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms — including bacteria, viruses and parasites — or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning."
"Stomach flu" is a misnomer and the term should be abandoned.
Influenza kills more than foodborne illnesses do, 12,000 to 56,000 people per year.
"CDC estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases."
Now that it's healing it's crusty and hurts to eat but I am trying. There is one spot in the corner of my mouth which is preventing me from opening my mouth to eat. I can only open it a little bit.

Hang in there!
Now I have it (gastroenteritis). We were up in the Colorado mountains for a ski trip, and I had lox and bagel for breakfast yesterday. I'm thinking it was the raw salmon, but who knows? Feeling better now, but I have to clean up my mess.
Sorry, one of my pet peeves. We've had a tough flu season, it doesn't need to be made any worse with people conflating stomach issues with influenza. If you didn't want advice, you shouldn't have posted. I did not suggest you go to the doctor.
Everyone in my family has always called it ‘stomach virus’. I never have understood why some people call it ‘stomach flu’.
The last one I had was about six years ago, and I threw up so hard I almost passed out on the bathroom floor. I remember lying on the cold floor and seeing the ceiling spinning.
