Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Jodi - rotavirus is a horrendous stomach flu that is caused by a mean little bugger. Once you smell your child's poop/diarrhea when they have rotovirus, you will NEVER forget that intense smell.... Rotavirus for younger children can be very dangerous, even with " normal " kids. If a physician suspects rotavirus, they will take a stool sample to diagnose. If an RSS child has the rotavirus, they will almost invariably have to be hospitalized with an IV, as it causes profuse and repetive vomiting, and the gut will usually require complete gut rest for several days.
