Fever and diarrhea

What is fever and diarrhea??

If diarrhea and fever occur together, it is usually an infectious disease. Infectious diarrheal diseases can manifest themselves in watery, mushy or bloody stools and are accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever. Infectious diseases with diarrhea and fever are often self-limiting. This means that they often stop on their own after a few days without special treatment.
In older and immunocompromised people, however, such a disease can last longer and be complicated. Bacteria such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella or Clostridium difficile are often responsible. In addition, viruses such as rota or noroviruses and parasites such as amoebas and lamblias can be considered as the cause of a febrile diarrhea.
