What should I do if my child has diarrhea, vomiting, and a fever?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 15 months old. The day before yesterday, she ate greasy food. That night, she had diarrhea three or four times and vomited three or four times. Yesterday during the day, she had diarrhea three or four times and vomited three or four times. Starting last night, she had a low-grade fever of 38 degrees Celsius. This morning, she received an intravenous saline drip. The symptoms have improved, but her spirits are very low. She keeps wanting to sleep and doesn't want to eat. Is there any way to help her feel better? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Since the child's condition is now under control, there is no need to worry. It is important to actively strengthen nutrition and ensure the child gets enough sleep. There are many reasons that can cause digestive diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
