Hisako, I hope you feel better tomorrow! The writing is good. There are a few small issues, mostly with spelling.
Stomach Flu
I got a stomach flu.As I was under the weather* and had fever last Sunday, I thought I caught** a cold.
The next day, my temperature was down so I went to work as usual.
However, I had stomach pain while standing and walking so I got a half day off*** to see the doctor.
The doctor told me that I had a stomach flu and he prescribed some medicines****. For the past two days, I have been having trots***** and I didn't have appetite so I just stayed hydrated.
I wanted to attend an English class today but I decided to be absent it would be better to stay home.
Now, I think my stomach is getting better so I will eat something finally and I will go to work tomorrow!
*I recently found the expression 元気のないよう in a book, and I thought of a ダジャレ:「天気のないよう」 Okay, I know, it's not very clever. But 元気 (genki = spirit or health) and 天気 (tenki = weather) sound similar.
** I know this is a strange expression. We use "catch" (or "caught") to describe getting sick. But honestly, doesn't the illness catch us, and not the other way around?
*** This is fine, but it would be more natural to say, "so I took a half day off to see the doctor."
**** "Medicine" is used as a plural noun, so you don't need to add "s"
***** TMI!!!******
****** (That's an expression that means それはあまりにも多くの情報ですよ。ಠ‿↼ )

Now, I think I'm feeling better so I will finally eat something and go to work tomorrow!
You did really well in composing this paragraph and although a few things sounded a bit non-native, I didn't want to change the entire paragraph as I'm sure you'll learn how to be more fluid in your writing. I hope this helps :)
