What are the symptoms of gastric flu and the best remedy?!
Question:
Answers:
The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are watery diarrhea and vomiting. Other symptoms are headache, fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Symptoms usually appear within 4 to 48 hours after exposure to the virus and last for 1 to 2 days, though symptoms can last as long as 10 days. Most cases of viral gastroenteritis resolve over time without specific treatment.
Allow your gastrointestinal tract to settle by not eating for a few hours.
Sip small amounts of clear liquids or suck on ice chips if vomiting is still a problem.
Gradually reintroduce food, starting with bland, easy-to-digest food, like toast, broth, apples, bananas, and rice.
Avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol until recovery is complete.
Get plenty of rest.

Gastroenteritis , or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, is an illness of fever, diarrhea and vomiting caused by an infectious virus, bacterium or parasite. It usually is of acute onset, normally lasting less than 10 days and self-limiting. Sometimes it is referred to simply as 'gastro'. It is often called the stomach flu or gastric flu even though it is not related to influenza.
If the inflammation is limited to the stomach, the term gastritis is used, and if the small bowel alone is affected it is enteritis
You mentioned GAASTRIC FLUK so I am assuming that it is NOT ENTERITIS:
It is important to consider infectious gastroenteritis as a diagnosis of exclusion. A few loose stools and vomiting may be the result of systemic infection such as pneumonia, septicaemia, urinary tract infection and even meningitis
