What is going on with infant diarrhea and fever?

Patient's question:

Continued nausea and vomiting for a month, with a fever of 38.5°C. Two stool tests were normal, and the blood test results were also normal. Medications taken: Bifidus, Xingspi Yang'er Granules, zinc tablets, rifampicin, and Imodium! Subsequently, nausea and vomiting occurred 5 to 6 times daily, but the child is in good spirits and does not cry. This has been happening for four days, with two bowel movements per day.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby experiences frequent bowel movements again, which last for a long time, and all tests have shown normal results, with no significant improvement after taking probiotics and other treatments, it is more likely that lactose intolerance is still a possibility. It is recommended to give him a lactose-free formula, commonly known as a non-lactose formula, for a period of treatment. If there is a fever, it is considered that there may still be an inflammatory cause.
