Question
The 14-month-old baby began experiencing dry vomiting at midnight on January 1st, developed a high fever in the afternoon, and was accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea with watery stools. The baby had two bowel movements on January 1st and started having more frequent diarrhea on the 2nd. The body temperature rose above 38.5 degrees Celsius, and the baby showed no appetite and was listless, barely eating anything. The diagnosis was rotavirus infection with red blood cells and fat globules. In addition to being prescribed cephalosporin antibiotics and antiviral medications, the baby also received intravenous injections. On the 3rd, a myocardial enzyme test was conducted, showing an elevated level of over 80. On the 4th, the baby was transferred to another hospital for treatment. In addition to being given normal saline, the baby was also administered Herba Epimedii for heat-toxin. The doctor said that the myocardial enzyme levels would return to normal after the baby fully recovered from eating, and recommended that the baby maintain a normal diet. However, the baby remained drowsy and listless. On the 5th, the baby still refused to drink saline and received another intravenous injection. Although the spirit slightly improved, there were still fever symptoms; the fever subsided in the morning, with coughing and yellow thick nasal mucus. What could be the reason for this?
