Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, manifested by vomiting, diarrhea, or both, sometimes accompanied by fever or cramps. This condition is usually caused by a viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, fever, and loss of appetite, which can lead to dehydration.
It is the most common digestive disorder in children, and many of the bacteria that cause gastroenteritis are easily contagious because it can spread from hands to mouth, but it can also be spread by sneezing and spitting. In this sense, children are particularly vulnerable to mutual infection due to the high level of physical contact in the way they interact and play. For all these reasons, the best preventative measure is extreme hygiene and, most importantly, washing your hands after using the bathroom and before and after eating.
