How do fluids help if someone has norovirus and is vomiting every 20-30mins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on severity: Normal healthy people 10-50 years old can get stomach flu (norovirus, etc...) symptoms from time to time. A patient will usually vomit until his stomach is all empty, which is why it is important to NOT eat or drink anything for 4-5 hours afterwards. Then, a usual treatment is small amounts of Pedialyte or broth, maybe 45 mL every half hour while awake. If worrisome symptoms, can go to the ER.
