Rotavirus is a common contagious virus that leads todiarrhoea in infants and children which can even become fatal. This infection can be primarily managed at home with rehydration. Dehydration is the most serious complication of rotavirus and leading cause of childhood deaths. Maintaining good hygieneis an important thing to prevent rotavirus infection. In Ayurveda, the symptoms of rotavirus infection can be related to Atisara.

Causes of Rotavirus Infection

Rotavirus will be present in the stool of an infected person several days before onset of symptoms and for about 10 days after symptoms recede. The virus can spread easily through hand-to-mouth contact throughout this time. If proper hand hygiene is not maintained after using the toilet, the virus can spread to anything that gets touched, including food, toys and utensils. The virus remains infectious on surfaces for weeks or longer until the area gets disinfected. As there are many types of rotavirus, one can get infected many times.

Symptoms of Rotavirus Infection

Symptoms of rotavirus infection generally start within two days of exposure to the virus. Initial symptoms include:

  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Watery diarrhea that lasts for 3-8 days
  • Abdominal pain
