STOMACH BUG:Viral gastroenteritis is an intestinal infection marked by watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea or vomiting, and sometimes fever.
The stomach “bug” is usually a sickness caused by a virus which spreads from person to person or through food contamination. Symptoms usually appear 1 to 2 days after exposure. Symptoms are often mild and usually only last a day or two. You may experience some of the following symptoms:
Upset Stomach
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Fever
Headache
Abdominal cramps.
What to do if you get a stomach “bug”:
Wait about 30-60 minutes after the last vomiting to try drinking fluids.
Sip small amounts of clear liquids frequently. Try ice chips, sips of water, flat ginger ale or 7-up, weak tea, diluted apple juice, Gatorade, clear soups, Jell-O.
Let your gastrointestinal tract settle by not eating for several hours. Then start with small amounts of bland, easy-to-digest food: cooked cereals, bread or bagel (no butter or margarine), toast with jelly, crackers, plain pasta, pretzels or bread sticks, fruits ( banana, apple, applesauce ), cooked potatoes, cooked vegetables, eggs, rice, chicken, turkey, baked fish.
Get plenty of rest.
Eat small amounts of bland food frequently for 2-3 days to prevent recurrence.
Avoid dairy products, greasy or spicy foods, raw vegetables, caffeine, and alcohol until recovery is complete.
Anti diarrheals Preparations
Pain reliever/fever reducer Acetaminophen
Severe dehydration may require intravenous fluids.
