What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Stomach Virus?
Stomach viruses can affect anyone, at any age. However, the young, elderly and those with compromised immune systems are at greater risk of more serious complications, such as dehydration. Stomach virus is the cause for millions of cases of diarrhea each year in the United States. The virus affects the large and small intestines and can last up to 10 days. There is not a specific treatment available for a stomach virus, but symptoms can often be managed with over-the-counter medications, plenty of fluids and rest.
