Norovirus, also referred to as the winter vomiting bug, is a very contagious virus that causes stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It's the most common cause of gastroenteritis (stomach flu) in the U.S. and it can spread quickly and easily in places like schools, nursing homes, and cruise ships. Symptoms usually begin 1-2 days after exposure and can last up to 3 days.

Symptoms of Norovirus

The most common symptoms of Norovirus are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and low-grade fever. Other symptoms may include chills, headache, and body aches. Symptoms usually come on 1-2 days after exposure and can last up to 3 days.

Treatment of Norovirus

Norovirus is usually self-limiting, meaning it will go away on its own. The best way to treat it is to stay hydrated with clear fluids like water, sports drinks, and electrolyte drinks. Avoid drinks with caffeine, alcohol, and dairy, as these can make symptoms worse. If symptoms persist or become severe, it may be necessary to see a doctor.

Prevention of Norovirus

Norovirus is highly contagious, so it's important to practice good hygiene and take preventative measures to reduce your risk of getting it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the restroom and before preparing food. Avoid contaminated food and water, and practice good sanitation when preparing food. Disinfect surfaces and keep them clean, and stay home if you are sick.

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that can cause severe stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. It is the most common cause of gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is often referred to as the "stomach flu" because its symptoms resemble those of the influenza virus, but it is a completely different virus.

Norovirus is spread easily through contaminated food, water, and surfaces. It can also be passed from person to person through contact with an infected person. Symptoms of norovirus usually begin within a day or two after exposure and last for one to three days.

The most common symptoms of norovirus are nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. Other symptoms may include: fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue. In some cases, people may also experience dehydration due to the loss of fluids from vomiting and diarrhea.

The best way to prevent norovirus infection is to practice good hygiene. This includes washing your hands often with soap and water, avoiding contact with people who are ill, and avoiding raw or undercooked food. It is also important to disinfect any surfaces that may have come into contact with an infected person, such as countertops, doorknobs, and toilets.
