Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, almost always of infectious origin, that causes digestive disturbances over a short period.
Common symptoms: Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and, at times, fever; one of the greatest risks is fluid loss.
When to see a doctor? It is important to seek care if there are signs of dehydration, blood in the stools, or if the condition drags on, especially in children and older adults.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner or the pediatrician usually handle the typical cases, and the gastroenterologist steps in when symptoms persist or recur. If the discomfort does not improve, it is best to have a professional evaluate the situation.
