If abdominal pain accompanies fever, it is highly likely to be gastroenteric influenza (also known as viral gastroenteritis). This condition is primarily caused by the Coxsackievirus and is often complicated by mixed bacterial infections. Symptoms include abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Treatment typically involves administration of anti-infective medications and intravenous fluid therapy. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen.
