When to see a doctor about bacterial gastroenteritis
People who have any of the symptoms associated with bacterial gastroenteritis need to see their doctor to have it diagnosed and treated, especially babies and young children who can be at greater risk of dehydration and associated complications.
If several people contract bacterial gastroenteritis and food preparation has been suspected the relevant authorities will need to be informed, to test the food preparation practices of the place where the food was purchased.
