Understanding 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 typically responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery in a few days is typical.
Causes and risk factors
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 allows germs multiply, so holiday buffets and hot afternoons raise the risk.
How to lower your risk of acute gastroenteritis
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.
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 appropriate medication where appropriate. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Treatment can involve oral rehydration solutions, anti-sickness medicine and pain relief; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Wash hands thoroughly to avoid passing it on
- Rest, and avoid alcohol and very fatty or spicy food while recovering
- Sip oral rehydration solution (sachets from any pharmacy) little and often
- Add plain foods such as rice, bananas, toast or soup as appetite returns
