3. Diarrhea or Watery Stools
Another common symptom of the norovirus is stools that are watery or for some people full-on diarrhea. Most of the time this symptom will appear within one to three days after contracting the virus. There are some people who will experience more nausea and vomiting while others will experience diarrhea. Others will experience both of these symptoms and may not be able to keep anything down for quite a while.
As mentioned, for the most part, these types of symptoms will typically be over in just a few days. For some people, it may last just a few hours and for others, it could be three days or more. It all depends on how well your body can fight off the virus. When you have norovirus it is really important to try to stay hydrated as your body is likely going to be trying to get rid of everything that is in it.
