A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute: : Acute bacterial gastroenteritis lasts 14 days or fewer than 14 days. It is essential to rest & drink plenty of fluids with this condition. Antibiotics are prescribed for severe cases that do not clear up naturally. Good hygiene practices are important to help prevent bacterial gastroenteritis. I wish you well with your health!
