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 frequently called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases settle in a few days.
Signs of Acute Gastroenteritis to Look for
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Watery diarrhoea
Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens
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.
Avoiding Acute Gastroenteritis on Holiday
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Is Treated
During the video visit the doctor works out how much fluid you have lost, asks what you ate and where you have travelled, explains what to drink and eat, and prescribes medicine if it is suitable. You then collect the e-prescription medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Treatment can involve oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and pain relief; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
