Physicians commonly recommend that patients with the disease limit their physical activity although they do not necessarily restrict them to bed-rest. They also advise patients to drink clear liquids during the early stages of the infection and to avoid high-protein diets and alcohol. Hospitalization may be required for patients who suffer from severe vomiting and who are unable to maintain adequate nutritional levels. It may also be required to prevent the development of complications.
