What are the reasons for diarrhea after a baby has a high fever?

Patient's question:

The baby, who had a high fever two days ago, has started having diarrhea. It has been three days of diarrhea now. On the first day, there were three episodes of diarrhea and two doses of Montmorillonite were given. On the third day, there were five episodes of diarrhea and Montmorillonite was given three times, along with apple puree, egg yolk, and brown sugar water. The stool was curd-like with green color. On the third day, the baby visited the clinic. Two doses of medicine were given, and four doses of liquid medicine were taken, resulting in 13 episodes of diarrhea. Only noodles were eaten. The stool changed from curd-like with green color to yellow porridge-like, and then back to egg yolk-like with green color.

Doctor's answer:

The baby might have indigestion or gastroenteritis, and should focus on medication treatment. It can be treated with intravenous fluids or take probiotics or lactobacillus tablets together with the baby. Apply cold compresses to the abdomen frequently, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and preferably eat a lot of millet porridge and other foods. This is a symptom of indigestion. It is recommended to take probiotics and montmorillonite powder for symptomatic treatment, drink more warm water, and have a light and easily digestible diet. Avoid extremely cold and greasy foods, and pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm.
