"Data-reactid =" 27 "> According to Dr. Sultana, norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis – an intestinal infection or an intestinal flu – worldwide.

He says: "It is known as" winter vomiting virus "because of its prevalence in winter and causing vomiting and diarrhea in infected people."

How do you avoid getting the disease?

Hygiene is the key to avoiding norovirus, says Dr. Sultana – and it turns out that your hand sanitizer will not trace you.

"Norovirus is not always preventable, but maintaining good hygiene certainly helps to reduce the chances of catching the infection. This means washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Hand sanitizers containing alcohol are generally not as effective as hot soapy water against these infections. "

How do I know if I have norovirus?

So, despite all your efforts, you feel exhausted and think you have the virus. Symptoms to watch for include nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, says Dr. Sultana.

"These symptoms usually appear within 12 to 48 hours after the first exposure to the virus. You may also experience a high temperature of over 38 ° C or higher, a headache and pain in the arms and legs. "

If your symptoms seem to match the bill, it's not the end of the world. Although unpleasant, norovirus will usually pass after two days of rest at home. "Make sure to rest, stay hydrated and eat when you feel comfortable," says Dr. Sultana.

"Make sure to drink small amounts of fluid regularly. Clear liquid sips aiming for about one cup per hour. Flavored or exclusive rehydration sachets also work. Also make sure that you are passing a good amount of urine. "

Do not be tempted to go to work until the symptoms disappear, it could put your colleagues at risk.

Finally, Dr. Sultana advises you when to seek the help of a health professional to remedy your situation.

"If you can not absorb enough fluid and have not urinated for 12 hours, or if you do not feel well, lose blood; or if you have another illness, such as diabetes or kidney disease in particular, consult a health professional for advice on your illness and medications. "
