Rotavirus
Rotavirus is an infection that causes severe diarrhoea and vomiting in babies and young children. The virus generally occurs in winter and early spring.
Most children recover at home within a week, but some children may need to see a doctor. Occasionally in severe cases, symptoms can lead to dehydration (loss of body fluids) requiring hospital treatment.
