What are the symptoms of Norovirus in children1

  When children are infected with norovirus in their daily lives, there is a latent period, which generally does not exceed 96 hours. The clinical symptoms are similar to those of other gastroenteritis, but the onset is very sudden, mainly manifested as nausea, fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Children infected with this virus have yellow and watery feces, ranging from several to several times a day, and may also have symptoms such as cough, headache, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, and decreased appetite.

  When infected with norovirus, the disease course is relatively long. If the condition is severe, the detoxification time will also be relatively long. Due to the short immune period of this disease, there may be repeated infections. When children are infected with this virus, they must be treated in a timely manner. Only after complete cure can they live a normal life, otherwise they will continue to be repeatedly infected in the later stage.

  Children infected with this virus should take good care of themselves in daily life, pay attention to their dietary hygiene, encourage them to eat more fresh and high calcium foods, drink more water, eat less high-fat foods, and even less cold food. Children should also keep warm and not go to crowded public places.
