I want to consult whether it is a stomach flu or acute gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

At three o'clock in the morning of the day before yesterday, I felt a strong pain in my stomach and ran to the toilet to have a bowel movement. It took about half an hour, but thankfully, it wasn't diarrhea. After coming back, about two hours later, I started feeling a bit feverish. In the morning, I checked my temperature, and it was 38 degrees Celsius. I felt all over body aches. I really don't know what's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition, as described by the doctor, involves gastritis and gastroenteritis. Although you don't have a bowel movement, the bacteria in your body have adapted, leading to disruptions in gastrointestinal function, causing excessive gastrointestinal contractions. This, in turn, stretches the nerves, resulting in pain.
If you want to recover more quickly, it is recommended that you receive intravenous treatment. On the other hand, it is important to take medication on time. Additionally, in the next two days, pay close attention to a light and nutritious diet to prevent disruptions in electrolytes or nutritional imbalances caused by nausea and vomiting.
In addition to treating gastritis and gastroenteritis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life.
