What medicine should a baby take for frequent diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Please let me know why my baby has been having frequent diarrhea for these few days, and nothing seems to work no matter what medicine I give. My baby is now seven months old. Previously, diarrhea was usually treated with probiotics. What should I do now and what could be the cause?

Doctor's answer:

The current condition of the child is likely caused by catching a cold, so there is no need to worry too much. For the child's current situation, I suggest giving them Montmorillonite powder, which should be sufficient. If the child still doesn't improve, it's important to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. Check to see if there is any contagious condition. If there is, antibiotics should be taken to treat it. In the coming days, the diet should primarily consist of rice porridge and noodles.
