Norovirus infection can occur in both young children and adults, with the highest incidence occurring between early autumn and early spring of the following year. Moreover, norovirus has an epidemic trend, so many parents are also afraid that their children will be infected with this type of virus. So, what are the early symptoms of a child like a virus?
Norovirus can be infected in middle age within a year, and young children are more susceptible to infection due to their weaker resistance. Norovirus tends to have a high incidence during cold seasons, so it is also a virus that spreads in winter.
Norovirus infection has the characteristic of rapid onset, so it belongs to highly infectious intestinal infectious diseases. The transmission vectors include contaminated water sources, food, objects in contact, air, droplets, and so on, so it is important to take protective measures from these aspects.
After a child is infected with Norovirus, the initial symptoms may include nausea and stomach pain. As the symptoms worsen, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fever, and muscle soreness may occur. The incubation period of Norovirus is usually around two days.
But fortunately, Norovirus infections generally have self-healing properties. Most children with this condition will fully recover within about 7 days through careful care, dietary adjustments, drinking plenty of water, and rest.
