Question
Is there a relationship between a child’s fever and the severity of gastroenteritis?
Answer
A child’s fever can be caused by infection or an abnormality in the body’s temperature regulation center, with little to do with the digestive system. However, if a child has digestive system problems such as diarrhea or vomiting at the same time, it may affect body temperature regulation, leading to fever. Moreover, when a child has a fever, their digestive function may also be affected, resulting in symptoms such as loss of appetite and bloating.
