Norwalk Virus left me with 2 teeth missing 5 stiches what can I ...

Collapsing from Norwalk virus resulted in loosing two teeth and gaining 5 stitches in bottom lip right on Christmas Day. Only eating soup with a straw and Gatorade. Is this enough to ensure I getting all the right nutrients.

Norwalk Virus left me with 2 teeth missing 5 stiches what can I eat with a straw ensuring all proper nutrients
That's terrible! I'm so sorry!

Coincidental you used the word "ensure", because that is just what I am going to recommend. Drink three cans of Ensure or similar dietary supplement a day (assuming your medical conditions allow it, not allergic, not diabetic, etc). This is what we gave to everyone who's mouth was wired shut when I was a dental resident. If your doctor gave you any recommendations, definitely follow those, or if you have any doubts/uncertainties about my answer, ask your doctor for advice.

It's been 4 days now? Things should be close to healed. If you can comfortably eat some normal things, that would be good too. Just rinse with warm salt water after eating (1 tsp salt, 1 cup warm water).

I hope you get better soon. Take care.
Reply:I doubt the Gatorade is doing much for you. Try something like POM juice, which is high in antioxidants. There are also protein drinks that you can drink as well.

What is Norovirus??????
Jonathan brought home this "flu like bug" from camp. From the moment our children are toddlers, we are constantly teaching them to share! And, my sweet Jonathan shares EVERYTHING! Jonathan had it, Sean got it, and now the MOM has it! A few nights ago I was experiencing abdominal pain much like I did in Hawaii and thought that was my case of this bug. WRONG!! I woke up last night at 1:00 AM puking my every little guts out!! And without being too graphic, I had to MULTITASK many times last night in the bathroom. And, the verdict is still out as to if Sean will come home from work tonight. I mean, my God, I don't even want to be married to myself after hearing what I sound like. Jonathan told Sean this morning "Mommy sounds like a dying Goat when she throws up"! So, it's 11:00 am now, I haven't thrown up in 2 hours, I had to call in sick to work, I just made my way down to the couch where my Sweet Sean has many burp bowls & towels set out. The remotes are lined up, my cell phone & IPOD are sitting out for me next to my glasses, two blankets, a pillow, a sprite, my book I'm reading, and of course the laptop. Now if only I had the energy to look for my dumb camera, I would take a picture of it all. I'm wishing everyone a HEALTHY DAY!!
What are noroviruses?

Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause the "stomach flu," or gastroenteritis (GAS-tro-en-ter-I-tis), in people. The term norovirus was recently approved as the official name for this group of viruses. Several other names have been used for noroviruses, including:
- Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs)
- caliciviruses (because they belong to the virus family Caliciviridae)
- small round structured viruses.
Viruses are very different from bacteria and parasites, some of which can cause illnesses similar to norovirus infection. Like all viral infections, noroviruses are not affected by treatment with antibiotics, and cannot grow outside of a person's body.

What are the symptoms of illness caused by noroviruses?

Norovirus infection usually starts suddenly. The infected person often feels very sick with nausea and vomiting and watery non-bloody diarrhea with stomach cramps. Vomiting is more common in children than adults. Sometimes there is a low-grade fever. There may also be chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness.

Vaccine for stomach viruses made from tobacco

Tobacco plants might yield a cheap and easy to administer vaccine against a stomach virus called Norovirus, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday. They found a way to make tobacco produce a protein that can be used to make a nasal vaccine against Norovirus, also known as Norwalk virus, which causes diarrhea and vomiting. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 23 million cases a year of acute gastroenteritis - stomach and intestinal upset - are due to Norovirus. Norovirus sticks to surfaces well and can live a long time unless thoroughly cleaned off. "If someone has diarrhea and they touch a doorknob or something the next person walking through has a very good chance of picking up that disease," Arntzen said...
from the Times of India, Wednesday, August 19, 2009.
The Norwalk Virus and You

The Norwalk Virus and You

www.planet-science.com/outthere/lifemasks/mas...

Symptoms

This virus has many symptoms. It causes viral gastroenter which is also called acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis, food poisoning and infection, dehydration, and stomache flu. Not everyone has the same reaction to the virus so some may be worse. Winter vomiting disease, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and occasional vomiting are common in almost all cases. Also, around 25-50% of people with this virus report headaches, nausea, low grade fever, and myalgia, which is muscle pains and aches. These syptoms arise within 24-48 hours after the original exposure, and last around 12-48 hours.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2812385.stm

How it spreads

This virus is normally spread through the fecal-oral route. It is very contagious, and sometimes easily spread. The Norwalk virus also is spread through direct contact with an infected person, contact with infected objects, and in some outbreaks it has been reported to have been spread by the airborne route. You can also get this virus by injesting infected food and beverages, or having direct contact with infected vomit or fecies.

www.sectionhiker.com

Where it is found

This virus is found in contaminated vomit and fecies, infected food and drinks, and sometime in shellfish such as clams or oysters. These shellfish, though, only get it if they are near a sewage area. It is also found in municipal water supplies, recreational lakes, swimming pools, and water stored on cruise ships.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Whom is most vulnerable

The Norwalk virus is found more frequently in older children and in adults. Athough, when young children, the elderly, and people that have weak immune systoms get it, the symptoms and the virus itself may become life threatening.

www.pharmainfo.net

How it is diagnosed and treated

Doctors often diagnose it based on symptoms that last only 2-3 days, but a stool sample may be suggested. There is no specific treatment, and antibiotics are not useful because it is a virus, not a bacteria. People that have this virus should get lots of rest, and drink lots of fluids. Since this virus causes dehydration, it often takes sugars and salts away from the body, so it is suggested to drink beverages such as fruit juices.

Also very helpful, but not as informative as the site above.

This website contained some useful information, but mostly just basic.
Highly Contagious Virus in Santa Cruz

During Nov 9 - 15th, 80 people in a unnamed Santa Cruz hotel became ill due to a highly contagious virus. The virus apparently spreads by direct contact and results in gastrointestinal illness (maybe Norwalk virus?). Nearly 1000 people were exposed during this time.
