Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis, often referred to as the stomach flu or stomach bug, is characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It leads to symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and nausea. Gastroenteritis can be caused by various factors, including viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections, as well as non-infectious causes like food poisoning or dietary indiscretion.
