Acute gastroenteritis may be caused by Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, cocci, and other pathogens. Patients with acute gastroenteritis typically experience nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and fever. It is recommended that patients seek immediate medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly. During treatment, patients should avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods.
