Gastroenteritis: There are no effective antiviral medications for viral gastroenteritis and it usually resolves on its own after several days. Treatment consists of resting, taking in adequate fluids, eating soft,bland foods, drinking flat ginger ale, taking Tylenol and kaopectate as needed for headache and diarrhea control.
