Is it okay to take medicine for diarrhea when the baby is 5 months old? Will there be side effects?

Patient's question:

The baby is five weeks old and has been having diarrhea these days. Other medications haven't worked. They have taken Pepto-Bismol and even received injections, but the Gentamicin Granules have helped. Is there any side effect?

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea: Taking Montmorillonite Powder (Montmorillonite Powder) is effective for young babies and is safe and reliable. Appropriately delay feeding, and if possible, feed anti-nausea and vomiting formula. Regular milk becomes worse with consumption. Give the baby more light salt water to prevent dehydration from diarrhea. If nausea and vomiting are severe, you can take Cefixime, which has a small side effect and is safe and reliable. Gentamicin Sulfate has significant side effects.
