How to deal with a four-month-old baby with persistent fever

Patient's question:

My baby is four months old. Suddenly one day, he had a fever, then nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. On the third day, the fever was controlled, and he stopped having diarrhea, but he still had one to two bowel movements a day (he usually had one every two or three days). His stools were particularly bad—large curds, yellow in color. Before having a bowel movement, he would cry. Today, every time he drinks milk, he cries, then takes a few sips and arches his back, tilting his head back, and his stomach makes gurgling sounds. Tonight, he suddenly woke up and cried uncontrollably, not drinking any milk, just crying. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Feed the baby, pay attention to hygiene, always keep the nipple clean, and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diaper. Since the baby's stool is influenced by the mother's milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods. Maintain a regular diet and drink less cold drinks. Take one package of triple live bifidobacterium granules, twice a day, 30 minutes after feeding, with warm water.
