Feeling Ill
When norovirus penetrates the body, it triggers inflammation. The immune system in the body will be activated to get rid of these harmful microorganisms. As a result, your body has to use more energy, which makes you feel really tired and exhausted. The feeling tends to occur within 1 to 3 days after the exposure to the virus. You could feel extremely ill and want to vomit many times during the day. This would increase the risk of dehydration, particularly in older adults, young children, or those with serious health issues. [3]
Stomach Pain
After penetrating the body, norovirus often settles in the digestive system, namely the stomach. This causes the area to become inflamed. That’s why the infection may be characterized by stomach pain. The symptoms may start to appear after 12 hours of being exposed to the virus. In mild cases, these issues tend to disappear in a few days, but they can also last longer. Make sure to keep your healthcare provider informed to prevent further complications. [4]
