A member asked:
How long after norovirus symptoms are gone are you still contagious? should my 6 year old daughter who is over the virus today wear a mask around my 1 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The shedding of the virus may be prolonged for more than 2 weeks. Usually there is less chance of transmission of the virus by 14 days. Use good hand washing, hand sanitizer and the mask is often helpful in reducing the spread of respiratory infections such as influenza. Keep your child well hydrated and if there is weight loss or dehydration, please follow up. Avoid milk based products until well

I suddenly have arthritic symptoms all over my body. I have difficulty in walking. I had something like this six years ago and was told by the rheumatologist it was likely a virus. I just got over a bad case of norovirus. Can both the things be connected?
