Acute Gastroenteritis Explained
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 normally responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
Common Triggers
Most infections come from something eaten or drunk: contaminated water, undercooked meat or seafood, unwashed salad or ice. You can also catch it from a sick travel companion. Heat speeds up bacterial growth, which explains why summer trips so commonly end with a tummy bug.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Is Treated
A video visit lets the doctor judge how dehydrated you are, ask about food and travel history, advise what to drink and eat, and prescribe suitable medication where appropriate. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Options may include oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and frequently
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
