Acute gastroenteritis often has a history of consuming unclean food, with an incubation period that usually ranges from several hours to several days, most commonly one to two days. The onset of acute gastroenteritis is typically characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea, urgent and increased bowel movements, nausea, vomiting, fever, and even convulsions. The frequency of bowel movements may increase to 10-30 times a day, and the patient may experience mild fever among other symptoms. Severe diarrhea can be accompanied by stools containing pus and blood, along with vomiting. In severe cases, patients may also experience dehydration and even shock. Therefore, patients with acute gastroenteritis should try to replenish energy, avoid exacerbation of the illness due to electrolyte imbalance, and prevent severe dehydration.
