My baby has very watery diarrhea, what should I do?

Patient's question:

My baby is nine months old and has very watery diarrhea with high fever at night. What should I do? It has been two days, and the diarrhea is like egg drop soup. I have been giving the baby Montmorillonite powder, which is also used for adults.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition involves nausea and vomiting caused by non-infectious factors. The digestive system of infants and young children is not yet mature, making them highly susceptible to recurrent digestive issues such as indigestion and infantile diarrhea. These conditions are often caused by improper diet, excessive bowel movements, or inappropriate food components. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and an increase in bowel movements, along with fever. Your medication is appropriate, and you do not need to worry excessively.
I recommend taking probiotics and paying attention to your baby's warmth and diet during this period. If your baby's diarrhea is severe, it is advisable to undergo fluid therapy to prevent dehydration. I hope my explanation provides you with some help!
