Child has diarrhea, vomiting while eating, and also has a fever. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Child has diarrhea and vomits when eating, plus a slight fever. What should I do?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Did not go to the hospital.
What kind of help do you want: What should I do? What medicine should I take?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, your child may have acute infectious nausea and vomiting. The main clinical manifestations include nausea and vomiting, with bowel movements of ≥3 times per day, and may be accompanied by nausea, dry cough, loss of appetite, fever, and general malaise. In severe cases, significant fluid loss can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and even shock. It is recommended to seek medical attention for follow-up treatment. Children are not the same as adults; if they lose fluids, it can lead to a series of secondary inflammatory reactions, such as electrolyte imbalance, among others. Additionally, prevention efforts should focus on "washing hands thoroughly, drinking hot water, consuming meat, maintaining good ventilation, and sunning bedding."
