Norovirus

Please do not visit the surgery if you are suffering from Sickness & Diarrhoea, instead ask for a Telephone Consultation with the Doctor.

Norovirus, also called the “winter vomiting bug” is a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.  It can be very unpleasant, but usually goes away in about 2 days.   You can usually treat yourself or your child at home.  The most important thing is to rest and have lots of fluids to avoid dehydration.
