Abstract

Stomach flu, medically known as viral gastroenteritis, is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by various viruses, primarily norovirus and rotavirus. Characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, stomach flu is highly contagious and can affect individuals of all ages. The onset of symptoms typically occurs within 1 to 3 days following exposure to the virus, leading to significant discomfort and the risk of dehydration, particularly in vulnerable populations like young children and the elderly. Diagnosis is often clinical, relying on a detailed medical history and physical examination, while laboratory tests may be reserved for severe cases to identify specific pathogens. Treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and preventing dehydration, emphasizing the importance of rehydration through fluids and electrolyte solutions. Dietary modifications and rest are essential for recovery, while over-the-counter medications may help manage nausea and diarrhea in some instances. Preventive measures are critical in curbing the spread of stomach flu. Key strategies include practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing, ensuring food safety, avoiding contaminated water, and isolating infected individuals.
