This cold is easily cured. Gastrointestinal colds have appeared more and more frequently in recent years, bringing certain impacts to people's lives. Let's take a look at the symptoms of gastrointestinal colds.

Gastrointestinal cold is a type of cold. Gastrointestinal cold is mainly caused by a virus called "Coxsackie", accompanied by mixed bacterial infection. Gastrointestinal cold is also known as "vomiting upper respiratory tract infection" in medicine. Its main symptoms are: bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, multiple bowel movements a day, feeling weak, and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and damage to the immune system.

1. Vomiting

A reflex action in which gastric contents are refluxed into the esophagus and vomited out through the mouth. It can be divided into three stages, namely nausea, retching and vomiting, but some vomiting may occur without nausea or retching beforehand. Vomiting can spit out harmful substances swallowed into the stomach. It is a defensive reflex of the body and has a certain protective effect, but most people are not caused by it. Frequent and severe vomiting can cause complications such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

2. Diarrhea
