Gastroenteritis and Stomach Bugs
Introduction
When treating gastroenteritis, preventing dehydration is paramount, starting at home with an oral rehydration solution which is readily available. Use clean or boiled water. Reduce infection risk by frequent hand-washing, disinfecting surfaces promptly, and avoiding contaminated food or water.
Diarrhea and vomiting, gastroenteritis or stomach flu can be caused by a number of different viruses and bacteria.
Both children and adults are affected by Noroviruses, and Rotavirus is the most common cause in children worldwide. The Rotavirus is most severe in infants and young children.
Homeopathic Remedies are very useful in addressing gastroenteritis and stomach bugs that causes diarrhoea and vomiting.
