Oh No ! poor guys.
I feel for you - have had it once ( and only once thank god ) myself.
Good news is, you should get over it within a couple of days.
Please make sure you get plenty to drink and so you don’t get dehydrated from the vomiting/diarrhoea, take paracetamol if you get feverish or achy.
Drinking plenty of fluids is extra important for the youngsters.
Apparently healthy adult should drink about 1.2 litres (six to eight glasses) of fluid every day to stop getting dehydrated ( I should be in a permanent state of it then !), but if you have norovirus they say you need will need to drink more than that to replace the fluids lost from vomiting and diarrhoea.
Suitable drinks include water, squashes and fruit juice. Chances are you may find it hard to keep down fluids, try taking small sips more frequently to see if that helps.
Try to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as soup, rice, pasta and bread : this really helps.
Get better soon
