Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens

About Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most often triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. It is often called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases clear up within a few days.

The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Typical choices are oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and pain relief; antibiotics only for specific causes.
