Gastroenteritis, commonly known as Stomach Flu or Stomach bug, is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is characterized by diarrhea and vomiting. Causative organisms may be viruses, bacteria, or parasites. It spreads through contaminated food, water, and shared items. The disease usually lasts for a week or two and resolves on its own depending on the causative organism. Treatment involves the symptomatic treatment, but antibiotics may be required in bacterial gastroenteritis.
