Stomach viruses, also known as viral gastroenteritis, are a common cause of illness, especially in children. They are caused by a variety of viruses, including norovirus, rotavirus, and adenovirus. Symptoms of stomach viruses can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, stomach viruses can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
There is no specific cure for stomach viruses, but treatment can help to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment may include rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications to relieve nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
