Our body's reaction to certain infection varies significantly and that may explain why your husband is less symptomatic presumably with same virus exposure. You may recall that during the Covid-19 pandemic, most people had very mild disease or even asymptomatic but many died from the covid-19 infection. Take care.

Yes, it is possible that thenorovirus could have been the cause of those symptoms. If so, he should be thankful that he had such a mild bout. If he is feeling fine, no further treatment is necessary. Good luck.

Norwalk agent has the virus that causes these type symptoms. Symptoms like this that resolve in 24 hours are not a concern, except good hygiene to avoid spreading it to other close contacts
