What should I do if my son gets autumnal diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I have diarrhea, like water, yellow, a lot of volume, and many times, about 10 times a day. I have been given intravenous fluids for 5 days. Now I feel very weak, but I can still eat, just rice soup and congee every day. The doctor said it's autumnal nausea and vomiting. I've lost a lot of weight. Now I always want to take a nap. When I'm awake, I keep humming.
5 days ago, the treatment and its effects: I was given intravenous fluids every day, and now I take Mamiya every day. I took two packs of Simida, but it didn't help. Today, the doctor prescribed three days of traditional Chinese medicine. I haven't had a stool test yet.
What kind of assistance I need: How should I care for him? How many more days will this last? It's already been 5 days, and my heart is breaking. Is it really going to last for 5-8 days? I saw online that it can last this long.

Doctor's answer:

Autumn is a season when babies are prone to diarrhea, which is often referred to as "autumnal nausea and vomiting."
Guidance: The treatment principles for nausea and vomiting are: ① prevent dehydration; ② correct dehydration; ③ focus on diet; ④ use appropriate medication. It is recommended to feed in small, frequent amounts. For babies under 2 years old, feed 1 small spoonful (about 5ml) every 1 to 2 minutes. For older babies, they can drink directly from a cup. If the baby is vomiting, stop for 10 minutes and then slowly feed them again (1 spoonful every 2 to 3 minutes).
