Better-known as the winter vomiting bug, it causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines which triggers an array of nasty symptoms. It’s known as a winter bug because people generally get sick with it in the cooler months from November to April – although it can be contracted year-round. Drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration, take paracetamol for aches and pains, get plenty of rest, and if you’re hungry only eat plain foods like rice, pasta and bread.
