What should I do if my child has diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and cough?

Patient's question:

Diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and coughing
November 25th: Woke up in the morning and ate several oranges in bed. About an hour after getting up, I had a bowel movement. In the evening when it was time to sleep, I started with mild coughing, followed by a fever. Then came vomiting.
[All night long, I had a fever (below 38°C), had diarrhea 4 times, vomited 6 times, and had mild coughing.]
In the morning and afternoon of the next day, I received injections in the buttocks and took some anti-inflammatory and diarrhea-relieving medication. By the afternoon, the fever subsided, but the coughing became severe.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, consider bronchial infection or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for auscultation and X-ray to confirm the diagnosis, and take chest X-ray if necessary. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. For cough or phlegm, Xianzhu Li Koufuye or Xia'er Magon Granules can be used for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infection. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be used.
