rotavirus norovirus

However, the most common cause is a virus called Norovirus. It is spead from person to person by fecal oral contamination. It is highly contagious and so when someone in a restuarant ,or anywhere really, doesn't wash their hands after using the restroom it gets spread to another person. For example if they didn't wash their hands and prepared foods a whole outbreak will occur such as often occurs on cruise ships. In children they can also get Rotavirus in the same manner.

It depends on what type of infection you have whether or not it is contagious. So if you have a type that is viral such as one caused by norovirus or rotavirus you could have a contagious type or a bacterial one like Clostridium difficile, Salmonella or Shigella pr Ecoli that has a toxin (not all strains have it). So you need to find out which one by having the doctor do some lab tests or telling you which one you have. The main thing is washing your hands well after using the toilet.

I'm 26.3 weeks and just caught norovirus from my 3 yr old. This is HELL. Been throwing up everything, even water for the past 48 hrs. Baby seems okay, and has been moving like normal...but omg this is the sickest I've been ...probably ever.

Last week I caught norovirus. I've sanitized everything and washing my hands more often. Can I get reinfected with Norovirus in the coming weeks? I read different medical articles online, and there seems to be a 6 months up to 2 years of resistance period before getting reinfected. Can anyone shed light? Thanks.

My son is 2 months and just received his first shots yesterday including the rotavirus vaccine. I noticed that after his shots and today he has been pooping yellow colored like normal but it is very chunky. He is exclusively breast fed and always has a little bit of a seedy stool but this is very chunky. I'm Just curious if anyone knows if this is normal or not. Could it be from the rotavirus vaccine because they do ingest it. Thanks.

Hi, and sorry you are ill. Well, norovirus usually goes away on its own within about a few days. So, it may be bacterial or even a parasite. If you haven't had a culture done you should have one done. Have you eaten out a lot or at a friends house or family over the holidays? Did anyone else get sick? Your potassium would have to be extremely low (below about 2.7) for it to cause Afib but it is possible.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community! The symptoms of norovirus are the symptoms of gastroenteritis. These include stomach, pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. I don't believe it is running around california now.

You wore gloves (very smart), so your chances of getting anything are very low. You won't get an STD from this, but you could get things like norovirus, hepatitis A, other stomach viruses (many are already spread by air, so not a huge concern here). If she isn't otherwise ill, I wouldn't worry too much. You're a good friend for cleaning it. I might not have lol.

25 weeks with norovirus:( with baby moving around, it doesn't help my intestines.

Hi, because it came on suddenly it is possibly food poisoning due to a virus that a lot of people call the Stomach Flu, but is a different virus called norovirus (not influenza in the stomach) If it isn't gone by tomorrow I would see your doctor. Usually, Norovirus is gone within about 3 days. Try to keep hydrated.

I got mine a week ago, ended up with the norovirus and in the hospital 2 days later, then today wake up with a stuffy nose, sneezing and a sore throat!! Wth?! I never get sick. Does getting the flu shot lower your immune system??

I have a 22month old client with a trach and g-tube and she had rotavirus, this was like 2 weeks ago, causes diarrhea, i didnt go in to work while she had bcuz i didnt want to get anything on me and give it to Trinity. But ever since she has been in daycare she always get sick, now she has given her cold to me and LaDell, we both started taking vitamin c to hopefully prevent us from getting sick.

I'll be today's advice nurse - I've got plenty of experience with this one. Unfortunately. If it's the same norovirus bug that's been going around here it should be over with in about 24 hours. It's a nasty one but a quick one. Take sips of water whenever you can. Occasionally gatorade or juice once you start to feel better but mostly water. If you can't keep anything down, take a cool shower to hydrate your body as much as possible.

The only thing you could get from a mattress is scabies, which is very uncommon now, or bed bugs, which isn't an STI but is more common. You could possibly also get norovirus, staph, e. coli, and maybe MRSA. https://www.dreams.co.uk/sleep-matters-club/health-risks-of-an-old-mattress https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19523027/how-your-mattress-makes-you-sick/ Before going, find out how clean the mattress are.

Hi everyone, I'm a little worried,for the last day or so I've been sick with the norovirus and today I've woken up with no pregnancy symptoms. I am 10 weeks pregnant. I had a bit of morning sickness, sore and heavy breasts but I no longer have these symptoms. Is his normal?

The night sweats may be a fever that spikes and goes down to normal or not. It could be ulcer or reflux. Also, norovirus can give you similar symptoms without diarrhea. It only lasts a short time and goes away on its own. If it persists then I would persue it. Did you eat out recently? Usually, you get norovirus usually as a foodborne illness.

Hi, Do you understand that if HIV were spread in the manner that you describe it 1) would not be classified as a sexually transmitted disease and 2) EVERYONE would have caught it when jumped to the human species, and we would all be dead by now. Think about it. HIV has never been transmitted in an environmental setting.

At 12 months, she began to fall of her growth curve. Shortly after her first birthday, she got rotavirus and became severely dehydrated. After 4 trips to the ER (they thought I only wanted a cure for the stomach flu), she was admitted for 5 days and closely monitored. She was 17.5 lbs at her 1 year check up, she lost 1 1/2 lbs from rotavirus at admittance and upon discharge she weighed 18 lbs. A pediatrician who is a specialist thought she had celiac disease but testing came back negative.

ve been through these with my 2 1/2 year old and some of them can take a very long time to clear. One that pops into mind is rotavirus. Fevers do not necessarily always accompany a virus. He should see a Dr. Also, make sure he is staying well hydrated. Food is less important then fluids. Juices, pedialight, even milk. Dehydration is always the biggest concern. Is he energetic or listless? That too can tell you alot. If he is listless and weak, then he should be seen right away.

s one poke on the foot then they usually do a hepatitis B shot then roughly ever 2 months the baby gets Dtap,Hib ,Polio,Pneumococcal, Rotavirus (hope i spelled them all right)but they can mix some together usually 2 pokes with the needle the babies get over it so fast

Keep hydrated, you can take immodium for diarrhea. Norovirus has been going around like crazy in my area, thankfully I haven't caught it, but I did have a nasty flu a few weeks ago.

The stomach flu is not the flu. The stomach flu is usually caused by the norovirus which is going around as a superbug right now. The flu shot had nothing to do with it.

I had the Norovirus or food poisoning with vomitting only, partially recovered after 48 hrs and 2 weeks later still having bouts of nausea, really reduced appetite still, could it have triggered my history of IBS, as i still have cramps and bloating, is there such a condition as post viral IBS (Where the virus aggrevates your stomach and causes bad IBS) any advice would be appreciated?
