How To Treat Norovirus

Rest

Norovirus patients must get plenty of rest so their body can fight off the infection. Also, they should reduce the number of activities they usually do during the day. Thus, if not in bed, patients should be lounging on the couch. At that state, the body is in a better position to fight off the infection and repair damage at a cellular level. Another reason to rest and not go to work or school is the infectious nature of norovirus. Patients are at their most infectious from when the symptoms begin to manifest until forty-eight hours after they have passed. Thus, when you come into contact with others during this period, you are more than likely going to infect them.
