Many viruses, such as norovirus, attack the digestive tract.
The German gastroenterologist, Professor Thomas Zoeferlein, said that the symptoms of Norovirus are severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea, as well as high body temperature, limb pain, headaches and general fatigue.
He pointed out that infection with Norovirus causes the body to lose a large amount of fluids, which is dangerous for children, pregnant women and the elderly in particular.
Therefore, Zuferlin stressed the need to consult a doctor immediately after observing the symptoms of infection, taking into account full compliance with the requirements of hygiene, such as washing hands well regularly and cleaning surfaces and purposes such as door handles well and regularly; Contaminant and contact with infected patients.
There are no anti-norovirus medications, so treatment reduces trouble, such as supplying the body with adequate fluids such as water, unsweetened tea, and fat-free soup to make up for lost fluids.
