Suffering From Gastroenteritis. Is It Normal To Feel Bloated And Burp? How To Avoid Children From Getting Sick?
Hi. I came down with grastroenteritis on Saturday night. I stopped vomiting by Sunday afternoon and have not vomited since. I am however burping a lot and seem to be very bloated. Is this normal? I also have 3 small children. I was not with them at all on Saturday and came home Sunday night. I've been diligent about washing my hands, haven't hugged them or kissed them, and no one has eaten or drank anything after me either. What else can I do to keep them from getting sick? Thank you!

Hi,
With gastroenteritis (GE), bloating and burping may occur. This can occur even with the drugs for GE. So no need to worry for it and it will relieve very soon.
Preventing infection to you children can be done with hygienic measures in cooking and serving / feeding them. Keep the home clean and tidy. Mopping the ground and bath rooms with the use antiseptic cleaners will prevent them from infection. Hope this helps you.
