Gastroenteritis which is also known as stomach flu. A common condition that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is usually caused by viruses or bacteria. Symptoms of this disease are vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Gastroenteritis can be spread by coming in contact with an infected person’s vomit or feces or by consuming contaminated food or drinks. This is usually not a serious disease, but it can cause dehydration. This disease spreads quickly especially in children.
Here are some tips for treating gastroenteritis:-
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of clear fluids like water or broth to replace what you lose due to vomiting and diarrhea. If you feel nauseous, try taking small sips frequently throughout the day. Children can become dehydrated quickly. Therefore you can give them a hydration solution like Pedialyte.
Eat light meals: When you feel hungry, eat small amounts of foods that are easy to digest and contain electrolytes, such as crackers, rice, bananas or drink clear soups.
Rest: Try to rest as much as possible. Most people recover on their own in a few days. You should avoid going to the doctor unless you are worried or need advice.
