What should I do if my child frequently has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Thank you for the advice. The child has not had a fever and is in good spirits. After the diarrhea, I gave her 3 doses of probiotics and Montmorillonite. On the first day, she didn't have a big bowel movement and only had 2 bowel movements. The second day, I stopped giving her Montmorillonite, but she hasn't had a bowel movement yet. What could be the reason? Is it possible that the child is becoming constipated again? I gave her 3 doses of probiotics and Montmorillonite. What should we do next?

Doctor's answer:

After taking the medication for diarrhea, the child hasn't had a bowel movement for a while, which is also related to the medication. Currently, Montmorillonite powder can be stopped, but probiotics should be taken diligently. The child should also drink more water, and the diet should be light. Abdominal massage in a clockwise direction is recommended. Formula feeding should be reduced, and continue to monitor closely.
The above advice is for the question "Thank you, Doctor. The child hasn't had a fever and is in good spirits." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
