Treating gastro-intestinal infections

Description

Treating gastro-intestinal infections involves promptly diagnosing the causative agents and administering appropriate antimicrobial or antiparasitic therapies to eliminate pathogens. The strategy includes rehydration to address fluid loss, supportive care to manage symptoms, and, where necessary, isolation to prevent transmission. It aims to reduce morbidity, prevent complications such as dehydration or sepsis, and limit the spread of infection through targeted medical intervention and public health measures, including improved sanitation and hygiene education.
