Norovirus and rotavirus are both viruses that cause gastrointestinal illness, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
Symptoms:
- Vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps
- Dehydration symptoms such as dry mouth, dizziness, and reduced urination
- Fever and fatigue
Treatment:
- Hydration is key, with oral rehydration solutions or fluids to prevent dehydration.
- Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks, which can worsen dehydration.
- In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary for IV fluids and electrolyte replacement.
