What should I do if my three-month-old baby's poop is runny?

Patient's question:

My baby is now three months old. Recently, he had diarrhea, which has now improved. Over the past three days, his stools have been a bit runny, but not like water—they are sticky. What could be the reason? The baby is formula-fed.
Past treatment and effectiveness:
A few days ago, he had diarrhea, and I gave him Montmorillonite clay powder and probiotics, which helped him recover. However, his stools have been a bit runny these past three days, but not watery—they are sticky.
Desired assistance:
I want to know what could be the reason and whether I should continue giving him the medication.

Doctor's answer:

The child is three months old and has diarrhea. The stool is quite loose, indicating some digestive issues. The food should be light and warm. Keep the abdomen warm. It's appropriate to take some probiotics and use Pao De Sheng for treatment. Regularly massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction. Wait a few more days and monitor closely. Avoid cold foods. The above suggestions are for the question "Three-month-old baby's stool is loose." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
