[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] During the Spring Festival, the number of norovirus patients in children's emergency department increased sharply. In this regard, nutritionist Li Wanping pointed out that if there is vomiting, diarrhea or even fever, and it lasts for 2-3 days, it may be infected with norovirus.

Norovirus is commonly known as winter vomiting virus. It occurs frequently from November to March every year. If you get norovirus, you should eat small meals frequently, replenish electrolytes, and avoid too oily, too sweet, and over-seasoned foods. Choose light and easy-to-digest foods. Get well soon.

Li Wanping posted on the Facebook fan page "Li Wanping Nutritionist" that the main symptoms of norovirus are nausea and vomiting, followed by diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, fever, muscle aches, fatigue, and chills.

There is no limit to the age of infection, it is indiscriminate infection, and a very small amount of virus can be transmitted through contact. If you cook after being infected, you may also infect your family members.
