Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is a common disease, usually of viral origin, that inflames both the stomach and small intestine. It is characterized by diarrhea, vomiting, +/- fever. The majority of children seeking emergency department care have none-to-minimal dehydration and the focus should be on promoting oral rehydration therapy and minimizing the use of intravenous rehydration.
