Patient's question:
My colleague has been experiencing repeated fever these days because he has gastroenteritis, and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain have reappeared, which has disrupted normal training and daily life. I would like to ask how to handle repeated fever in patients with gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
A patient with gastroenteritis has again experienced recurrent episodes of fever. To seek timely treatment, they can take fever-reducing medications. Simultaneously, they should go to the hospital for thorough examinations to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment, which tends to be more effective. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more soft, liquid foods, such as porridge, which aid in intestinal digestion and absorption, providing the body with energy for digestion. If symptoms of dry heaving, nausea, and vomiting are severe, intravenous nutrition and hydration can be administered.
