What Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, normally caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. It is often called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases clear up within a few days.
Typical Symptoms
- Stomach cramps
- Watery diarrhoea
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Low-grade fever
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 common on summer holidays.
