Fluids: The goal of treatment is to prevent dehydration by making sure to replace the fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhea or vomiting. .Older children and adults can drink sports beverages such as gatorade, but these should not be used for children. Instead, use the electrolyte and fluid replacement solutions or freezer pops available in food and drug stores. Antiemetics may be used as well.

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.
