Hello

Most cases are caused by viruses, such as a stomach flu.
The answer to that is very extensive. If there are no other symptoms, it is most likely a virus. Other possibilities, depending on other symptoms include: appendicitis, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, strep throat, sinusitis. If she has no other symptoms, I would treat the fever with Tylenol and watch.
