What should I do if the baby has diarrhea and vomiting?

Patient's question:

I've had a runny nose for a week, and coughing for 5 days. It started with a few coughs a day, but it became more frequent yesterday. Starting yesterday afternoon, I also started having diarrhea. Yesterday, I started vomiting.
Test results: [No results provided]
Previous treatment and effectiveness: [No information provided]
I gave him Biqi and 999 Children's Cough Syrup, and his cough has improved a bit. However, the diarrhea and vomiting are still ongoing.
What kind of help do I need: I want to ask the doctor what medicine I can give him to treat the vomiting and diarrhea.

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting, green bowel movements containing foam and egg drop soup-like consistency, are likely symptoms of non-infectious nausea and vomiting in children. This may be accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, and occasional dry heaves, but it will not lead to dehydration, so there is no need to worry. Pay attention to the child's diet in the near future, maintain a light and healthy diet, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and eat more protein-rich foods. This can help boost the child's immunity. You can also give the child some probiotics to regulate their digestive system.
