Diarrhoea & Vomiting Bug - A message from Southamptom Hospital

Southampton A&E is still seeing a large number of people turning up with D&V.  They are managing to slowly re-open wards closed by Norovirus but need to keep the infection away.

If you have diarrhoea and vomiting, possibly with flu like symptoms, stay at home, drink plenty of fluids and take paracetamol. It should pass in 48 hours but if not, or if you have any concerns, call the surgery or 111. Please do not go to A&E, stay at home and don’t risk infecting others!
