What is the reason for a one-month-old baby with high fever on the second day and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work.
What could be the reason if a one-year-old and three-month-old baby has a high fever on the second day and then starts having diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

In this child's condition, it could be possible that it is gastroenteritis, a viral infection, or a bacterial infection. It is recommended to go to a formal hospital's pediatric department for a routine stool examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause, and then actively take anti-infection treatment measures. Wishing for a speedy recovery! It could also be due to insufficient breast milk, and the baby may not be getting enough to eat. If possible, check if there is a deficiency in trace elements such as calcium and zinc. Observe whether the baby's stool is normal.
