  There’s often no specific medical treatment for viral gastroenteritis. Antibiotics aren’t effective against viruses. Treatment first involves self-care measures, such as staying hydrated. […] Try anti-diarrhea medications. Some adults may find it helpful to take loperamide (Imodium A-D) or bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, others) to manage their symptoms. However, avoid these if you have bloody diarrhea or fever, which could be signs of another condition. […] Help your child rehydrate. Give your child an oral rehydration solution, available at pharmacies without a prescription. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about how to use it. Don’t give your child plain water in children with gastroenteritis, water isn’t absorbed well and won’t adequately replace lost electrolytes. Avoid giving your child apple juice for rehydration it can make diarrhea worse. […] Avoid giving your child store-bought anti-diarrheal medications, unless advised by your doctor. They can make it harder for your child’s body to get rid of the virus.

  Most norovirus infections get better on their own. As your child recovers at home: […] They should get plenty of rest. […] Give lots of fluids to help your child stay hydrated. […] Give an oral rehydration solution (such as Pedialyte, Enfalyte, or a store brand) to replace lost fluids. It has the right amount of water, sugar, and salt for kids. You can buy it at drugstores or grocery stores without a prescription. You also can give frozen electrolyte pops or broth. […] Don’t give your child any medicines unless recommended by their health care provider. Note: Antibiotics only work against bacteria, so doctors don’t use them to treat norovirus. […] Make sure your child washes their hands well and often to prevent the virus from spreading. […] When your child’s vomiting stops, offer small amounts of foods. A child who isn’t throwing up can eat a regular diet if they feel up to it. It may take time for them to feel like eating. There’s no need to avoid dairy products unless they make the vomiting or diarrhea worse. Your child may need to avoid greasy or fried foods until they feel better.

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4793406/

  Noroviruses (NV) are the most common cause of acute gastrointestinal illness in the United States and worldwide. […] The increasing recognition that NV illness can be life-threatening, especially in immunocompromised patients who often require prolonged hospitalization and intensive supportive care, has stimulated new research to develop an effective antiviral therapy. […] We discuss the potential design of clinical trials in these patients and how an anti-viral therapy that proves effective in immunocompromised patients might also be used in the setting of acute outbreaks, especially in confined settings such as nursing homes, to block the spread of infection and reduce the severity of illness. […] We conclude by reviewing the current status of approved and experimental compounds that might be evaluated in a hospital setting.

  There is no effective treatment for norovirus, which is highly contagious. People typically recover after a couple of days. […] Most people who get infected recover within 48 hours of symptom onset. But those who are immunocompromised, such as after an organ transplant, are at risk of developing chronic vomiting and diarrhea sometimes lasting several years since there isn’t an effective antiviral treatment and/or vaccine to prevent norovirus infection. […] Though there is no effective treatment for norovirus, anti-nausea medication can help control symptoms. If you become dehydrated, you may need to get IV fluids in a medical setting and give your body a chance to rebuild its defenses. […] Dr. Chong hopes to help chronically infected individuals find relief and, in the process, translate those findings into an effective treatment that can potentially benefit everyone.

  Effective management of acute NV infection in immunocompromised individuals mandates emergent, large-volume IV fluid replacement, since rapid oral rehydration is difficult if not impossible. […] The common inability to tolerate food beyond one week after the start of infection requires IV nutrition therapy, also known as total parenteral nutrition (TPN). […] Because these patients are typically placed on dedicated transplant or oncology wards in proximity to other patients who are similarly immunocompromised, and because fecal excretion of NV exceeding 6 months in immunocompromised patients is not unusual, endemic perpetuation of highly morbid and protracted disease in hospital settings can occur. […] The assessment of drug efficacy for treatment of NV gastroenteritis in the immunocompromised patient has three components: The clinical response, virological response, and immunological response to the drug, in comparison with placebo.

  Norovirus is the leading cause of diarrhea in the United States. While norovirus is a self-limited disease in immunocompetent patients, it can present as chronic diarrhea in immunocompromised patients, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. […] Supportive measures, such as reducing belatacept and prednisone doses, discontinuing mycophenolate, maintaining tacrolimus levels at 3-5 mcg/L, and administering repeated courses of nitazoxanide and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), did not alleviate the diarrhea, which persisted for a year and resulted in a 25-pound weight loss. He was then treated with OHIG at 50 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours for 48 hours, leading to a rapid resolution of diarrhea. […] Norovirus infection in immunosuppressed patients is often overlooked and challenging to treat due to the lack of well-established treatments. Standard care includes supportive treatment with hydration, antimotility drugs, and reducing immunosuppressive drugs. Anecdotally, nitazoxanide, IVIG, and short courses of OHIG have shown benefits. […] In this case, an extended course of OHIG appears to be well tolerated and successful in controlling chronic norovirus infection. Furthermore, adding Loperamide to slow gastrointestinal transit can enhance OHIG’s effectiveness by increasing contact time with viral particles.

  Antibiotics aren’t supposed to be effective against viruses. But new evidence in mice suggests antibiotics may help fight norovirus, a highly contagious gastrointestinal virus, report scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. […] The researchers found antibiotics could help prevent norovirus infections. […] The same team also showed that a recently identified immune system molecule can cure persistent norovirus infections even in mice with partially disabled immune systems. […] Follow-up studies showed that norovirus needs a bacterial collaborator to establish a persistent infection in the gut. Eradicating the bacterial partner with an antibiotic can prevent persistent norovirus infection in mice. […] The scientists also looked for mouse proteins essential to preventing chronic norovirus infections. They found that a receptor protein for an immune inflammatory factor known as interferon lambda was required for antibiotics to prevent infection. Giving the mice interferon lambda also prevented norovirus infection, suggesting it also should be evaluated as a treatment for norovirus. […] In the second study, the Washington University researchers reported that treatment with interferon lambda offers a significant advantage: It not only prevents the start of persistent norovirus infections but also eliminates established persistent infections.

  Norovirus cannot be treated with antibiotics. This is because antibiotics work to fight bacteria and not viruses. […] Vomiting and diarrhoea causes your body to lose water and salts, which can lead to dehydration, so it is important to drink plenty of fluids to prevent this. Elderly individuals, young children and those with weakened immune systems are at most at risk of becoming dehydrated and needing treatment. […] Stay at home. Do not return to work or send children to school until 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped and do not visit your GP or hospital while symptomatic. If you are concerned about your symptoms, talk to your GP by phone, contact NHS 111 or visit the NHS norovirus webpage. […] Avoid cooking and helping to prepare meals for others until 48 hours after symptoms have stopped, as norovirus can be spread through contaminated food when it is handled by people shedding norovirus. […] Wash any contaminated clothing or bedding using detergent and at 60°C, and if possible, wear disposable gloves to handle contaminated items.
