E-rx.onlineWhat Is Acute Gastroenteritis?
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. A virus, bacteria or parasite is generally responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Low-grade fever
- Watery diarrhoea
What Can Cause Acute Gastroenteritis
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.
