Is there a fever with norovirus?

My colleague has been sick with something they called Norovirus, and they mentioned having a fever too. I was under the impression it was mostly about stomach issues, so I wanted to confirm if there is usually a fever with Norovirus?

Yeah, you can definitely get a mild fever with norovirus, though the main villains are vomiting and crazy stomach cramps. It totally drains you out, so just keep sipping ORS to stay hydrated.

Oh God, norovirus is so scary because it spreads like wildfire. Yes, a low-grade fever is quite common, but please watch out for severe dehydration symptoms. If you can't keep any liquids down for 24 hours, you should get medical help immediately.

Hey, don't stress too much! A mild fever is just your body's way of fighting off the norovirus. It usually passes in 2-3 days. Just rest up, drink plenty of coconut water, and you'll be fine.

Yes, fever can happen, but be very cautious with stomach bugs. My father got dehydrated so severely during a norovirus outbreak that his blood pressure crashed and we had to hospitalize him. Don't delay seeing a doctor if the fever gets high or vomiting doesn't stop.

Yes, from what I've read, a low fever can accompany the stomach symptoms. Since my immunity is always a bit sensitive, I prefer to check in with a doctor online to be safe. Take care and stay hydrated.

Haan na, stomach upset ke sath thoda fever bhi hota hai isme. It makes you feel very weak, ho na. Bas light khana khao aur doctor se consult karke treatment shuru karo.
