What should I do if my baby's diarrhea doesn't improve?

Patient's question:

Gender: Male, Age: Over 8 months.
On October 30th to November 4th, he received a 5-day intravenous drip for tracheitis and recovered.
From November 5th to November 10th, he was normal, with 1-2 bowel movements per day.
On November 11th, he switched to formula bought by his grandmother.
From November 11th to November 16th, he had 3-4 bowel movements per day, slightly loose. He was given the medications "Cefixime Granules" and "Montmorillonite Powder," but there was no improvement.
On November 17th, he switched back to his original formula.
From November 18th to November 21st, his condition worsened to 5 bowel movements per day.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this first requires considering a stool test to clarify the diagnosis: whether it is infant indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or a cold-induced intestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to take half a pack of Mimi Ai at a time. If the baby drinks water, you can put it in the water, but the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees, otherwise the active bacteria will be scalded to death, making it pointless. If the baby does not like to drink water, or if they are exclusively breastfed, you can mix the medicine into a paste-like consistency and feed it with a small spoon.
