How to deal with vomiting and diarrhea in a 5-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

At half past nine, sudden nausea and vomiting occurred. This morning at half past eight, nausea and vomiting with watery, projectile-like diarrhea. A few days ago, I had a cold and fever. During the fever, my appetite was poor, and my stool had already started to become loose. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: After taking Cefixime Granules for Suspension, An'ering Granules, and Acyclovir, the fever subsided. Yesterday, my appetite was good all day, but I vomited in the evening. Today, I'm not eating and feel lethargic.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the condition, I mainly consider acute gastroenteritis. Confirmation requires a stool test.
Recommendations: You have a history of viral fever. After that, you may have eaten unclean food or overeaten (when your constitution is weak, you should adjust the amount appropriately), leading to vomiting and diarrhea. You can eat a little, but don't force yourself to eat a certain amount. You should go to the pediatric department of the hospital for further examination and receive treatment with anti-infection and fluid replenishment.
