4 Common Symptoms of Norovirus Infection

Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting

Stomachache or cramping is a common symptom of many gastrointestinal problems. If sudden and severe, it might be a sign of food poisoning. People with norovirus will often experience abdominal pain [6] that may alternate between acute and dull.

Vomiting [7] is another common symptom of norovirus. It is hard to keep food down when you have norovirus. Because the vomits often include fluids you have consumed, you may become dehydrated. Norovirus treatments often rely on replacing these lost fluids while you are nursed back to health.

If you have norovirus, you will often experience feelings of nausea [8] even when you are not vomiting. Nausea is a sick feeling that normally precedes vomit, although it may not lead to vomit.
