How should pediatric diarrhea be treated currently?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My daughter has been experiencing diarrhea for 3 days since she recovered from a cold and fever a week ago. She has been having 4 to 6 bowel movements daily, with very watery, egg-like stools. Currently, she is taking Mamikai and Simethicone, but there has been no improvement. What could be the cause? Is it possible that it's indigestion? She hasn't been eating anything unusual—just rice porridge for meals and some formula milk. During the cold and fever, she was given Meilin, Baby's Advil, and Cefixime. Could it be a side effect of the medication causing the diarrhea? How should she be treated now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. According to the situation you described, it may be a manifestation caused by intestinal dysfunction. This condition can be managed by adjusting the intestinal flora environment and taking measures to stop diarrhea. It is recommended to take Smecta Powder and Similac Tablets for regulation.
