What is the reason for a baby's persistent high fever and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

On September 13th, I developed a fever, reaching 39°C. I didn't have a runny nose, but I did have diarrhea. I received an IV drip at the township health center and was also prescribed medication to take. The treatment wasn't effective, and the symptoms kept recurring.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, fever, fever up to 39°C, no runny nose, but diarrhea, just getting IV drips at the township health center, and also prescribed medication to take, but the effect is not obvious, it still recurs. Suggestions: Hello, for a baby with diarrhea and fever, it is important to first test the stool for a clear diagnosis, as both gastroenteritis and bacillary dysentery can cause fever. Since you are already at the hospital, it is important to follow the doctor's advice. If it keeps recurring, it is recommended to seek treatment at the county-level hospital.
