Is norovirus constant vomiting?
My little one suddenly started vomiting nonstop, and the doctor said it might be norovirus. I'm so worried because it just won't stop. Is constant vomiting always a symptom of norovirus, or can it be something else?

Oh God, it absolutely feels like your stomach has turned into a water fountain. At my age, battling that kind of continuous vomiting just leaves you flat on the bed wondering if you will ever eat normal food again. Thankfully, it usually passes in a couple of days.

Yes, it can be very intense and actually leads to severe dehydration so quickly. Please keep a close eye on your urine color and check for dry mouth or extreme weakness. If the vomiting is absolutely uncontrollable and you can't keep liquids down, it is best to visit a clinic immediately to be safe.

When my whole family got this last year, the throwing up was definitely non-stop for the first 24 hours. We couldn't even keep a sip of water down initially. We just rested, took ORS slowly, and waited for the bug to run its course.

For someone like me who manages high BP, continuous vomiting is a big risk because it messes up your body's electrolyte balance completely. I always make sure to get a quick checkup at the local clinic to monitor my blood pressure and hydration level whenever my stomach gets this upset.

Norovirus is infamous for sudden, projectile vomiting along with watery diarrhea and stomach cramps. My family doctor explained that while it feels constant, the worst phase usually peaks and starts getting better after 48 hours. He advised staying on a strict clear liquid diet and warned against taking self-prescribed anti-vomiting pills without consulting a medical professional.
