How should i treat norwalk virus infections?

Fluids: This RNA virus is now called "norovirus" and is the GI bug that vexes cruise ships.Gently rehydrate with water or a sports drink diluted 50/50 with water.Soups and light foods.I try to avoid anti-spasmotics like immodium or Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) as i trust the body to expel this nasty virus.Hand washing is critical to preventing spread.

Norwalk Virus: Drink non-caffeinated liquids like water, oral rehydration solutions or non-acidic juices. If not able to keep up with fluid losses, IV hydration may be needed. Rest. Stay away from others while symptomatic.
