Rotavirus gastroenteritis (roe-tuh-vir-us gas-tro-en-tuh-ry -tus) is unpredictable, and there is no reliable way to know which infected children will have severe cases.7
Rotavirus most often infects infants and young children. Almost all children are infected with rotavirus in the first few years of life, when they are especially at risk for the disease. 3,8 Most children in the United States are infected by 5 years of age.2

Childhood illness, causes vomiting and diarhea. Every child has it at sometime or another, some just get it a little worse. Had to hospitalize my daughter for two days, because she couldn't rehydrate. Just keep an eye on the child. I.V. fluids may become necessary.
