Norovirus Treatment
If you’ve been sickened with norovirus, the best thing you can do is stay home until you’re feeling better. Unfortunately, there’s no treatment for norovirus, so you have to let it run its course. Medical intervention isn’t usually necessary unless there’s a risk of a more serious problem.
To help ease the symptoms of norovirus, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. You need to drink more than usual to replace the fluids lost from vomiting and diarrhea.
Avoid drinking fizzy drinks or fruit juice, as these can make diarrhea worse. Babies should continue to feed as usual, either with breast milk or other milk feeds.
You can also:
- Take paracetamol for fever, aches and/or pains
- Get plenty of rest
- Use special rehydration drinks such as Pedialyte if you have symptoms of dehydration, such as a dry mouth or dark urine
