Stomach Flu treatment in Celaya

Stomach flu is the common name for gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines that usually has an infectious origin, often viral, and tends to resolve within a few days.

Common symptoms:

• nausea and vomiting
• diarrhea
• abdominal pain or cramping
• sometimes mild fever and general discomfort

Common causes: viruses, bacteria, or parasites transmitted through contaminated food or water, as well as contact with sick people.

When should you see a doctor? An evaluation is recommended if there are signs of dehydration, high fever, blood in the stools, or if the discomfort does not subside, especially in children and older adults.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner is usually the one who addresses this condition initially. If you have concerns or symptoms that intensify, the safest thing is to let a professional review your case.
