Viral gastroenteritis is a viral inflammation of stomach, small intestine, and large intestine (colon). Viral gastroenteritis accounts for over 200,000 childhood deaths worldwide per year.
The most common way to develop viral gastroenteritis or stomach flu — is through contact with an infected person or by consuming contaminated food or water. Infants, older adults and people with compromised immune systems, viral gastroenteritis can be deadly.
There’s no effective allopathic or conventional treatment for viral gastroenteritis, the only proven treatment is Homeopathic, other vise prevention is the only way.
Symptoms of Viral Gastroenteritis
Viral gastroenteritis or gastroenteritis or stomach/gastric flu is an intestinal infection that includes signs and symptoms such as watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting, and sometimes fever.
Although viral gastroenteritis or gastroenteritis commonly called stomach flu, gastroenteritis isn’t the same as influenza. The flu (influenza) affects only our respiratory system — our nose, throat and lungs. Gastroenteritis, on the other hand, attacks our intestines, causing the following signs and symptoms:
Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis usually begin shortly after infection, for example, symptoms caused by norovirus typically develop within 12 to 48 hours. Symptoms from adenoviruses may be delayed 3 to 10 days after contact.
Depending on which type of virus patient have contracted, symptoms can last anywhere from 1 to 14 days. Symptoms often start suddenly over the course of 1 or 2 hours.
Symptoms can include:
- Loose, watery diarrhea more than 3 times per day.
- Fever or chills.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Headache, muscle aches, or joint aches.
- Sweating or clammy skin
- Abdominal cramps and pain.
- Loss of appetite.
Diarrhea caused by viral gastroenteritis isn’t usually bloody. Blood in the stool could be a sign of a more severe infection.
You should seek emergency medical treatment if:
- Diarrhea has lasted for 2 days or more without getting less frequent.
- Your infant develops diarrhea.
- Blooded diarrhea.
- you show or see signs of dehydration, such as dry lips or dizziness.
- Appearance of sunken eyes or if eyes aren’t making tears when they cry.
Because the symptoms are similar, it’s easy to confuse viral diarrhea with diarrhea caused by bacteria, such as Chloridoids difficile, salmonella and Escherichia coli, or parasites, such as giardia.
Causes
A person likely to get viral gastroenteritis when he/she eats or drink contaminated food or water 0r share utensils, towels or food with someone who has one of the viruses that cause the condition.
Many viruses can cause gastroenteritis, for example:
-
Noroviruses
Both children and adults are affected by noroviruses, the most common cause of foodborne illness worldwide. Norovirus infection can sweep through families and communities. It’s especially likely to spread among people in confined spaces. In most cases, we pick up the virus from contaminated food or water. But it can also spread between people who are in close contact or who share food. We can also get the virus by touching a surface that’s been contaminated with norovirus and then touching our mouth, eyes or nose.
-
Rotavirus
Worldwide, this is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in children, who are usually infected when they put their fingers or other objects contaminated with the virus into their mouths. It can also spread through contaminated food. The infection is most severe in infants and young children. Adults infected with rotavirus may not have symptoms but can still spread the illness. This is of particular concern in institutional settings such as nursing homes because adults with the virus unknowingly can pass the virus to others.
-
Adenovirus
The adenovirus affects people of all ages. It can cause several types of illness, including viral gastroenteritis. The adenovirus can also cause common cold-like symptoms, bronchitis, pneumonia and conjunctivitis. Children under 2 years of age, are more likely to get adenovirus.
Adenovirus is passed through the air via sneezing and coughing, by touching contaminated objects, or by touching the hands of someone with the virus.
Symptoms associated with adenovirus include:
- Sore throat.
- Pink eye.
- Fever
- Coughing
- Runny nose
Most children will feel better within a few days of experiencing adenovirus symptoms. However, symptoms such as pink eye may last longer than a few days.
-
Astrovirus
Astrovirus is another virus that commonly causes gastroenteritis in children. Symptoms associated with astrovirus include:
The virus most often affects people in late winter and early spring. It’s transmitted through contact with a person who has the virus or via an infected surface or food. Symptoms usually appear within 2 to 3 days after initial exposure, and the astrovirus will usually go away within 1 to 4 days.
Complications of Viral Gastroenteritis
The main complication of viral gastroenteritis is dehydration, which can be quite severe in babies and young children.
Other complications of viral gastroenteritis include:
- Nutritional imbalances.
- Body weakness or fatigue.
- Muscle weakness.
Dehydration can be life threatening if patient have these symptoms:
- Diarrhea lasting more than a few days.
- Blood in the stool.
- Confusion or lethargy.
- Dizziness or feeling like patient is going to faint.
- Nausea.
- Dry mouth.
- An inability to produce tears.
- No urine for more than 8 hours or urine that is dark yellow or brown.
- Sunken eyes.
- Sunken fontanel on an infant’s head.
Dehydration that accompanies viral gastroenteritis can lead to several complications of its own. These include:
- Brain swelling.
- Coma.
- Hypovolemic shock, a condition that occurs when our body doesn’t have enough fluid or Blood.
- Kidney failure.
- Seizures.
To prevent complications, as soon as possible control the dehydration.
Infants, older adults and people with weakened immune systems may become severely dehydrated when they lose more fluids than they can replace. Hospitalization might be needed so that lost fluids can be replaced through an IV in their arms. Dehydration can rarely lead to death.
The main focus of treatment is to prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous fluids may be necessary.
Over-the-counter oral rehydration solutions (OHS or ORS) can be helpful in mild cases. These solutions are easy on stomach, and contain a balanced mixture of water, sugar and salts to replenish essential fluids and electrolytes.
Allopathic or conventional treating for Viral Gastroenteritis
The most common antibiotics prescribed for gastroenteritis include:
- Metronidazole.
- Azithromycin.
- Ciprofloxacin.
- Acetaminophen for any fever, aches or pains.
However, antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
This is because most gastroenteritis infections stem from viruses and typically resolve without treatment. While doctors may sometimes prescribe antidiarrheal medications for viral gastroenteritis, allopathic experts are unsure how useful these are.
Diarrhea can be treated in adults with over-the-counter medications such as loperamide (Imodium) or bismuth subsalicylate.
Also prescribe probiotics to replace the healthy bacteria that’s lost during diarrhea or prescribe medications to treat severe vomiting.
