Norovirus Infection

Treatment

The best treatments for norovirus infection are to get plenty of bed rest and drink lots of fluids. To prevent dehydration (severe loss of body fluids), your health care provider may give you specific instructions about the type of fluids you should drink.

You should not take antibiotics for norovirus infection because they have no effect on viruses.

If your infant or child has diarrhea, you should contact a health care provider immediately for treatment advice.
