What is Rotavirus Infection
Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines, mainly in infants and young children. It can lead to severe dehydration, which may become life-threatening if not treated. Good hygiene is crucial, as the virus spreads easily through contact with contaminated hands and surfaces. However, getting the vaccine can protect against a rotavirus infection.
