Best medication for norovirus?
I haven't got the vomiting and runs but, but my muscles feel odd, they're not aching and that's expected to be a symptom, I just want to stop it or at lowest possible tone the level of sickness down. I know I'm going to return with it. Damn.
Answers: Dear Chelsea,
I would like to construct a note on the reply given by the user a moment ago before me. To my comprehension Pedialyte is hypotonic. The diarrhoea caused by norwalk virus lead to loss of fluids and electrolytes that are isotonic with plasma, hence I would recommend oral rehydration psychiatric therapy instead of pedilyte.
A good tip on homemade oral rehydration psychoanalysis will be : (Wikipedia):
There are several commercially available products[2][3] but an inexpensive home-made solution consists of 8 level teaspoons of table sugar (sucrose) and 1 height teaspoon of table salt mixed within 1 liter of water (Rehydration Project: Home made recipe). Fructose (fruit sugar) or artificial sweeteners should not be substituted for the table sugar within this recipe. A half cup of red juice or partially of a mashed banana can be added to respectively liter both to add potassium and to promote taste. If commercial solutions are used, true rehydration solutions should be used and sports drinks should be avoided (especially contained by younger children) as these solutions contain too much sugar and electrolytes.
Please take write down of the last sentence.
If you purchase a solution , I recommend the following:
1. Check if the sugar is glucose or fructose--never buy a drink beside fructose, this is because the nodium reabsorption by the cells contained by the intestinal mucosa have a GLUCOSE dependent transporter and not fructose.
2. Make sure the bottle say: ISOTONIC
Hope this helps.
