Ugh, norovirus. Just the word sends shivers down your spine (and possibly to your stomach). If you're currently battling this unwelcome visitor, you're probably wondering: How long does norovirus last?
The good news is, norovirus is usually a short-lived terror. Typically, symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps will only stick around for **1 to 3 days**. That's it! While it feels like an eternity when you're in the thick of it, know that recovery is on the horizon.
However, even after your symptoms disappear, you can still be contagious for a few days (sometimes up to two weeks!). So, keep washing your hands diligently, avoid close contact with others, and disinfect surfaces to prevent spreading the misery. Staying hydrated is also key to a speedy recovery. Think clear broths, electrolyte solutions, and plenty of rest. Hang in there, you'll be feeling better soon!
