What is a Stomach Infection?
A stomach infection is an inflammation or infection of the stomach and intestines that can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. These infections are commonly caused by harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some of the most common causes include:
- Bacterial infections (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter)
- Viral infections (e.g., Norovirus, Rotavirus)
- Parasitic infections (e.g., Giardia, Amoeba)
These infections can be contracted through contaminated food, water, or contact with infected individuals.
Our Approach to Stomach Infection Treatment
Accurate Diagnosis: We start with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Laboratory tests such as stool cultures, blood tests, and imaging studies are used to identify the exact cause of the stomach infection, whether it is bacterial, viral, or parasitic.
Targeted Antibiotic Therapy: For bacterial infections, we prescribe antibiotics based on the type of bacteria causing the infection. Our goal is to treat the infection at its source while preventing complications such as dehydration or spreading of the infection.
Antiviral Treatment: In cases of viral stomach infections, treatment primarily focuses on symptom management as most viral infections resolve on their own. However, in some cases, antiviral medications may be prescribed to reduce the severity and duration of the infection.
Antiparasitic Treatment: For parasitic infections, we offer antiparasitic medications tailored to the specific parasite identified. These medications help clear the infection and prevent recurrence.
Hydration and Electrolyte Management: Stomach infections often lead to dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting. We emphasize the importance of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) or intravenous fluids to restore lost fluids and electrolytes, helping to prevent further complications.
Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations: A healthy diet is crucial during recovery. We provide personalized dietary advice to help ease the symptoms and speed up recovery. This includes avoiding irritating foods, staying hydrated, and consuming easily digestible meals like boiled rice and plain toast.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor the progress of your treatment and ensure complete recovery. Our team provides compassionate care throughout the healing process, helping you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way.
