What is the reason for a ten-and-a-half-month-old baby having diarrhea, vomiting, and fever?

Patient's question:

I have diarrhea and vomiting, and I also have a fever. I think it might be caused by a cold. I only have a runny nose, and I'm worried it could be something else. I feel completely drained and extremely anxious. Please let me know. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Based on your description, the symptoms of your baby, such as vomiting, runny nose, and fever, are all signs of a cold. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, you can use fever-reducing medication. If the baby's fever is below 38.5°C, you can use fever-reducing patches or lukewarm water bathing for physical cooling. If the baby's symptoms do not improve, it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately and visit a reputable local pediatric hospital for specific examination and treatment.
