Viral Gastroenteritis
Viral gastroenteritis is a common, contagious illness that can affect people of all ages, but is most common in young children. It is caused by a variety of gastrointestinal viruses and can range from mild to severe. Symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, fever, headache, and body aches. Treatment is typically focused on managing symptoms and includes increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration. It is important to practice good hand hygiene, especially with young children, to help reduce the spread of the virus.
