A review of giving a high five in the afterlife due to norovirus.

I will write a review about my first experience with norovirus. I was vomiting all day, and it was really painful. Norovirus was one of the most difficult illnesses I've ever experienced, ranking among the top three in my hardships.ㅠ Now, I will talk about the cause and symptoms I experienced.

 

It was Friday evening. I ate one raw oyster. It was my first time eating raw oysters. I only ate one. Not two, just one.

And Saturday passed without any issues, but the problem started on Sunday morning.

Suddenly, my stomach started gurgling and hurting from early Sunday morning at 7 o'clock... I woke up.

I went to the bathroom about three times. At first, I didn't really understand why my stomach was hurting.

Since I ate the same meal as usual the day before Saturday, I didn't immediately think of why I was feeling unwell.

I tried to have breakfast, but I had a stomachache, so I only took a spoonful and didn't eat anymore. Not long after, I vomited even that one spoonful.ㅠ

I remembered eating a raw oyster on Saturday evening at that time. I wondered if it was norovirus.

It seems the oyster I ate was contaminated with bacteria. I only ate one, but I was really unluckyㅠㅠ

Since then, I searched for norovirus symptoms, and they matched my symptoms exactly.

 

Most symptoms of norovirus include diarrhea. Of course, vomiting is also one of the symptoms.

I vomited about ten times from morning to evening. I roughly counted, and that's about how many times.

I drank water with my medicine to take it, but I immediately vomited all the water and the medicine right after taking itㅠㅠ

At that time, I had a high fever, with 37°C in the morning and it rose to 38°C in the afternoon, but by evening, the fever had gone down.

I couldn't take the medication that day, so I took one Smecta the next day and gradually started to recover. Smecta is said to be effective against norovirus.

 

Norovirus really makes people suffer. I didn't realize how painful it could be. So, I'm afraid I might catch norovirus again, and since then I never eat oysters again 😅

 

I hope everyone becomes familiar with the methods to prevent norovirus.
