What viruses cause vomiting?

My friends and I all ate out a few days ago, and now a couple of us are having vomiting. We're thinking it might be a viral infection. Can someone tell me what viruses commonly cause vomiting?

Yaar, so many viruses can cause vomiting. Norovirus, Rotavirus, sometimes even influenza can give you stomach issues. I once ignored constant vomiting thinking it's just a normal upset stomach, and ended up severely dehydrated. Please, if it's persistent, get it checked by a doctor, don't ignore it.

Vomiting can be caused by various viruses, like Norovirus or Rotavirus, common stomach bugs. When I get it, I make sure to rest and hydrate. Once I feel better and the doctor gives the green light, light walks really help get the system back on track, but definitely not while you're actively vomiting.

I often hear about 'stomach flu' but didn't realize it's caused by viruses like Norovirus and Rotavirus. So, it's pretty much a general term for viral gastroenteritis, right? Is it very contagious?

Hey! Don't stress too much about which exact virus. Most common are Norovirus and Rotavirus, they cause what we call 'stomach flu'. Just focus on getting enough fluids, like ORS, and resting. If it gets really bad, just call your doctor, okay?

Mostly it's Norovirus or Rotavirus, they're super common stomach viruses. Happens often in crowded places like Mumbai. The main thing is to prevent dehydration. If it's really bad, go to the nearest clinic or ER, don't wait.

Oh, vomiting can be super scary when it starts! But often it's just a common viral stomach bug, like Norovirus or Rotavirus. I used to panic every time, but my doctor reassured me that with proper hydration and rest, it usually passes. So don't worry too much, just keep sipping fluids.

Based on my experience, whenever I or my family members have had vomiting, the doctor usually says it's a 'viral gastroenteritis' or 'stomach flu'. He mentioned some common viruses like Norovirus and Rotavirus. But I never give medical advice, so always best to check with a professional.

Vomiting can be caused by various viruses, bhai, commonly known as 'stomach flu' or viral gastroenteritis. Norovirus and Rotavirus are frequent culprits. Just focus on resting, sipping on ORS or clear fluids to stay hydrated. If it becomes severe or doesn't stop, reach out to a doctor immediately. Take care.
