What is the reason for the baby having white diarrhea after a fever?

Patient's question:

On the morning of December 8th, I had a high fever of 41 degrees Celsius. After the doctor administered a fever-reducing injection, they prescribed Xiao Er Hu Lu San, Ling Yang Jiao Di Wan, and Yin Hu Gan Ma San. By the morning of December 19th, the fever had subsided, but I still had a runny nose and began to cough (worse at night than during the day). Starting on December 21st, I developed diarrhea with yellow stools, which continued at night in a watery, separated form. On the morning of December 23rd, I had another low fever of 37.5 degrees Celsius, followed by one episode of diarrhea with yellow, watery, separated stools in the morning, and white, egg-like stools at night.

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's nausea and vomiting in autumn are caused by a cold, which is a disease brought on by multiple different pathogens and multiple different causes. It is often caused by rotavirus, with watery or thin paste-like stools being common, but without a foul odor. The incidence of nausea and vomiting is second only to acute respiratory infections. Special attention should be paid to providing timely liquid digestion for babies with nausea and vomiting to prevent dehydration from excessive water loss in the stool. Water, rice soup, and juice can be given at any time, and oral rehydration salts are preferred.
