Also, decarbonated Coke or similar beverages with phosphorylated carbohydrates can be use to soothe the stomach lining.
Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
Norovirus is typically spread through contact with an infected person, consuming contaminated food or water, or touching contaminated surfaces and then putting your hands in your mouth.
The most common symptoms of Norovirus include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and fever. These symptoms typically appear within 12-48 hours after exposure and can last for 1-3 days.
The best way to prevent Norovirus is to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently with soap and water, avoiding contact with infected individuals, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting contaminated surfaces.
While Norovirus can be unpleasant and uncomfortable, it is usually not dangerous and most people recover within a few days. However, it can be more serious for young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
