Vomiting and diarrhea are common in young children and are often caused by gastroenteritis, a viral infection of the bowel or other infections. Food poisoning often results from eating food contaminated by bacteria. Bacteria can breed in foods, such as fish, chicken, ham and dairy products that are not properly handled. Food should always be well cooked and eaten immediately or refrigerated as soon as it is bought. If food is reheated always bring it to boiling point. Food poisoning can also result from naturally occurring toxins in some plants and fish. Vomiting and diarrhea can cause dehydration – loss of the fluids required for the normal functioning of the body particularly in babies and small children, so it is important that sufferers drink lots of fluid. |
