Acute Gastroenteritis Explained
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, normally caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. It is frequently called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases clear up within a few days.
Why Acute Gastroenteritis Happens
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 often end with a tummy bug.
Care and Treatment for Acute Gastroenteritis
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 suitable. You then collect the e-prescription medicine from the nearest pharmacy. Options may include oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and painkillers; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
