Are there any other treatments for acute gastroenteritis?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    Ginger can be used for nausea, and seems to lessen the number of vomiting episodes experienced during AGE. Ginger is considered safe for children.[1]

    Some other alternative treatments, like apple cider vinegar, curcumin, and cinnamon have been suggested in the context of AGE, but there is currently not enough evidence to support their use.
