Kids are susceptible to a lot of infections and viruses that lead to diarrhoea. One of them is the rotavirus. This virus causes stomach infection which leads to diarrhoea and affects the health of the baby. Watch out for symptoms of frequent watery stools, vomiting which is associated with diarrhoea, high-grade fever, dehydration and abdominal cramps with watery diarrhoea. The rotavirus infection can be prevented or treated with a simple oral vaccination. Consult your doctor as soon as you see any of these symptoms and make sure that your kid has been given all his vaccinations on time.
