Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens
Dirty water or food, meat that is not cooked through, shellfish, salads that were rinsed in tap water, ice cubes, and close contact with a person who already has the illness are the usual routes. Warm weather helps germs multiply, so holiday buffets and hot afternoons raise the risk.
What Is 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. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
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. You then collect the e-prescription medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and commonly
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
