What Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. It is commonly called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases settle within a few days.
Causes and Risk Factors
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.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Is Treated
The doctor asks about your meals and recent travel, checks for signs of dehydration, gives clear advice on fluids and food and, where suitable, prescribes treatment. Your e-prescription can be picked up at a pharmacy close to you. 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
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
