Acute gastroenteritis with a fever of 38.8 degrees. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Do you need to take medicine to reduce fever? Is drinking water helpful? The fever is 38.8 degrees, do you need to take medicine or antibiotics to suppress the condition.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Fever is generally an inflammatory response caused by the body's infection with pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma. The more severe the inflammation, the slower the recovery.
Suggestions: It is recommended to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment to avoid recurrence or worsening. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid catching colds or overexertion, adjust your mindset, reduce contact with high-risk individuals, and gradually improve, alleviate, and return to normal.
