Generally, children who are positive for rotavirus will experience severe diarrhea. This is caused by the presence of rotavirus group A (RVA) in the child’s body. Severe diarrhea causes children to experience severe dehydration. Children who test positive for rotavirus are susceptible to nausea due to infections and disorders of the digestive tract. “Rotavirus is a problem that must be handled immediately and well. “Remember, rotavirus can cause the death of children in Indonesia,” said Prof. Inge.
