Patient's question:
The child recently doesn't know what's wrong and has developed gastroenteritis, and they have no appetite for anything. Today at noon, the child wasn't crying or fussing, and looked very lethargic. A few temperature readings were taken, and it was discovered that they had a fever. I want to ask if gastroenteritis in children can cause fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child has gastroenteritis, it can cause the child to have a fever, and it can cause the child to have a high fever or high-grade fever, which are common situations. Moreover, the symptoms that children often exhibit are indigestion and frequent vomiting. When treating the child, targeted treatment is required, and it is also a good idea to have them checked at the hospital. For example, using anti-diarrheal medication or antibiotic medication for treatment.
