Is It Due To Norovirus There Is Frequent Urination?

Hi, apparently I had norovirus during the past 3 days, I was feeling tired, I had fever, stomachache and chills all over my body. Now I feel much better and I have been drinking lots of Gatorade as I was recommended to drink lots of fluid. But today I have been urinating very frequent. Is this normal?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in HCM.

Norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans.

Norovirus infection is characterized by nausea, projectile vomiting, malodorous watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of taste, lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headache, and low-grade fever.

There is no specific medicine to treat people with norovirus illness. Treatments aim to avoid complications such as dehydration from fluid loss. Hence plenty of fluid intake is advised and thus you are following it.

Your frequent urination is mainly due to increased amount of fluid intake. Gradually, as you get better, reduce the intake of fluid to normal limits. That should get rid of your frequent urination problem.

Hope the information provided is useful.
All the best.
