Patient's question:
I have had gastroenteritis for a while. Many people have told me that drinking salt water has a certain effect, but I want to ask a few questions. I don't know if gastroenteritis and salt water are effective.Doctor's answer:
Actually, if gastroenteritis is not treated promptly, it can lead to other complications. After suffering from gastroenteritis, you should not drink saltwater and must pay attention to staying hydrated. Dehydration is actually the main cause of death in norovirus gastroenteritis, so preventing dehydration is the most important aspect. After getting acute gastroenteritis, hydration also needs attention, and you can also drink some plain water to relieve symptoms.
