What Is Rotavirus?
8. How Long Does Rotavirus Last?
The earliest symptoms often appear as vomiting or a high fever. Soon after that, your child can have watery diarrhea that lasts 3-7 days. While this can be hard for both of you, as long as the symptoms don’t become severe and your child can still ingest liquids, take comfort that this time frame is normal.
The infection can still be present in your youngster’s stool for 10 days after the last of the symptoms have subsided. Wash your hands and disinfect all surfaces even more diligently than usual to avoid another infection.
