The : The most important thing to do when you have gastroenteritis (stomach bug) is to maintain adequate hydration. Diarrhea is the means in which your body is ridding itself of the virus. Therefore, it is best to let the illness run it's course. However, if you have signs of dehydration (dry mouth and skin, lethargy, palpitations) you should seek care right away. I hope you are better by now.
