Usually only very young children, infants, the frail with underlying diseases, those with weak immune systems, and the elderly have complications from the stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis) that require urgent care or hospitalization. But, if they are unable to stay hydrated and eat properly due to vomiting and diarrhea, they can get serious problems with dehydration and maintaining the proper body chemicals to prevent major systemic organ failures. When this happens, they can get very ill and even die.
