In cases of pediatric gastroenteritis with fever, it is important to confirm that the fever is caused by gastroenteritis. This can be determined by reviewing the child's medical history, physical examination, and laboratory test results. Identifying the causative pathogen of gastroenteritis through etiological tests—such as serological testing—is essential, as it allows for tailored treatment strategies based on the specific pathogen involved. A scientifically sound treatment plan should be implemented. Depending on the identified pathogen, appropriate therapeutic measures may include antibiotic therapy, anti-inflammatory treatment, antimicrobial therapy, and nutritional support for pediatric gastroenteritis.
