5. Upset Stomach
The parvovirus can attack the entire body, and many people experience stomach aches and abdominal pain once the virus has fully attacked the body. The virus can even cause some people to vomit or experience bowel problems such as constipation or diarrhea.
Not everyone with the parvovirus will suffer from stomach pain, and abdominal problems and most people do not realize they have a virus when they do experience these symptoms. An upset stomach can be a symptom of many other viruses and infections as well. It can also be caused by indigestion and food allergies.
Medication can be taken to help with pain and nausea. If you are throwing up, a doctor may also prescribe a medication to help settle the stomach until the virus is no longer active. Children are more likely to experience stomach and abdominal pain than adults. Stomach pain usually doesn’t last long and should go away after a couple of days.
