How to treat a nine-month-old baby with a cold and diarrhea

Patient's question:

The baby had a pretty dry bowel movement this morning, possibly because she caught a cold after going out later. She has had 4 bowel movements since the afternoon. How should it be treated?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Just fed 1/3 Montmorillonite powder.
What kind of help is desired: How can it be cured? Urgent!!!

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation, with improper diet or exposure to cold being common causes. Proper treatment under the guidance of a doctor should be administered to fully recover, while appropriate feeding and preventing exposure to cold are also necessary. Adjust clothing according to weather changes to avoid various adverse effects. Additionally, if a baby experiences nausea and vomiting, it may be due to intestinal inflammation. In such cases, an abdominal patch can be applied externally, and oral medication should be taken concurrently. Adequate hydration should be maintained during this period to prevent fluid loss.
