Can Norovirus Be Mistaken for Other Illnesses?
Yes, norovirus symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps can resemble food poisoning, the flu, or other gastrointestinal infections. The key difference is its rapid onset and short duration, usually lasting 24-48 hours. Dehydration is a major risk, especially for young children and older adults. If symptoms worsen or dehydration occurs, visit Spring Emergency Room, a trusted emergency care facility, for fast IV fluids and treatment. Get expert care today—walk in now!
