How to handle diarrhea and fever in a five-month-old baby

Patient's question:

What should I do if my baby has diarrhea and a fever? My baby has never had a fever before. Last night, she had diarrhea, but then she had a fever in the middle of the night. I took her to the hospital and got medicine, but her temperature is still 37.8°C or 37.9°C and won’t go down. She is still having diarrhea.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: This situation is preliminarily considered to be caused by infectious diarrhea in children, such as viral enteritis, and further examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Active treatment should be administered.
Advice: Daily diet should be balanced, nursing care should be strengthened, and adverse stimuli should be avoided. Vitamin C and B should be supplemented. For diarrhea, Smecta and Dulcolax can be used. In severe cases, intravenous treatment should be administered. Additionally, Xiyiping and fosfomycin should be used to actively control the infection. The above information is for reference.
