Remedies For Stomach Virus

Many a times, improper or unhygienic food habits may lead to viral infections in the stomach and intestines. Medically, such an infected condition is termed as ‘Viral Gastroenteritis’. Swallowing any of the different viruses, including rotavirus, adenovirus or the norwalk virus, might initiate the problem. The infection is also communicable and sometimes develops from physical contact with an infected person and even spreads through infected utensils, food and drink. Once these viruses enter your digestive tract, they damage the linings of the various organs, thereby leading to stomach cramps, dizziness, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, chills and muscle ache. Though the symptoms sound quite hazardous, various home remedies can easily help you to get rid of the problem. Check out some easy-to-follow cure and treatment of stomach viruses here.
