How long does it take for gastroenteritis to clear up once medicated?!

It depends: Unfortunately one cannot predict the course of a viral gastroenteritis in terms of time to recovery - it is variable.

Meds not usually: needed for viral gastroenteritis. According to the CDC, viral gastroenteritis usually has a duration of 1 to 10 days (depending on the specific virus). The average is 1 to 3 days.
