Understanding Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, generally caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. A virus, bacteria or parasite is generally responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Feels
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low-grade fever
- Watery diarrhoea
- Stomach cramps
Causes and Risk Factors
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply quickly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
