School season is well and truly back and so is the risk of getting the winter vomiting bug, also named Norovirus.
According to the HSE, Norovirus causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It is one of the most common stomach bugs in Ireland - and with kids heading back to the classroom this week, it is likely to see a surge.
Norovirus can be unpleasant but it usually clears up by itself in a few days. You can normally look after yourself or your child at home. It’s advised to avoid going to your GP, as Norovirus can spread very easily.
