Stomach viruses are highly contagious infections that affect the digestive tract. They are most commonly caused by norovirus or rotavirus. Symptoms are often linked to close contact with an infected individual, contaminated food, or surfaces. Stomach virus symptoms can appear within 12-48 hours after exposure and typically last 1 to 3 days. Most cases are mild, but severe dehydration can occur, especially in young children and older adults.
If your symptoms are mild, you may be able to manage them at home while your body fights off the virus. Monitor your symptoms closely and don't hesitate to seek medical help if they worsen. Here are some at-home tips for recovery:
Water, electrolyte drinks, or clear broths help prevent dehydration.
Once you can eat, stick to toast, rice, bananas, or applesauce.
Give your body time to recover.
These can worsen symptoms.
Prevent spreading the virus to others in your household.
