Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It can be very unpleasant, but usually goes away in about 2 days.

You can usually treat yourself at home, but the most important thing is to rest and have lots of fluids.

The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped gland that makes and releases hormones. It’s found at the front, lower part of your neck, just behind the small hollow where your collar bones meet.

If you’ve noticed any of these changes, or anything else unusual for you, talk to your doctor. In most cases, it won’t be cancer – but if it is, diagnosing it early can make a real difference.
