Homeopathic treatment for viral gastroenteritis or stomach flu | HOMEOPATHY FOR STOMACH FLU OR VIRAL GASTROENTERITIS

The most frequent cause of viral gastroenteritis, also known as “stomach flu,” is a virus that primarily infected the lining of the small intestine. However, unlike influenza, the respiratory virus that causes flu, this virus did not cause the stomach flu.

·Rotavirus.Children typically contract this virus when they put their fingers or other objects that have been exposed to it into their mouths, making it the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in kids.

Symptoms

Main symptoms are:

Diarrhea that is usually watery and not bloody.
