How Long Does Norovirus Induced Diarrhea Take To Subside Post Treatment?
Not normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Norovirus induced diarrhea usually should subside within a week. The fact that it is lasting for more than a week calls for further investigation to rule out amebic or bacterial origin of diarrhea. I emperically start a combination drug of ciproflox with tinidazole twice a day for 5 days along with that I prescribe a probiotic like tab vsl-3 once a day for 7 days to replenish the gut with good bacteria
My further suggestions are
1. drink plenty of water. Upto 3 liters per day to stay well hydrated. The best way is to buy an ors XXXXXXX mix it in a liter of water and drink in sip by sip
2. avoid milk and milk products
4. avoid food rich in fat
If symptoms do not improve then please approach a doctor for a stool exam and colonoscopy
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
