How to deal with diarrhea and fever in a 7-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

A 7-month-old female baby during lactation has diarrhea and a fever of 38.5°C. After taking Meilin, probiotics, and Montmorillonite powder, she had five to six bowel movements and squeezed out two during the effort. The fever was still at 38.5°C. Yesterday, the probiotics were replaced with triple live bacteria tablets, and the fever stopped, but the diarrhea became severe with watery stools, and she kept squeezing out bowel movements. She is exclusively breastfed, and as soon as she eats, she has diarrhea. What help is needed: Why is she constantly squeezing out bowel movements?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, 7-month-old baby, fever, watery diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, and it's loose stools immediately after eating, right?
Advice: The baby currently has diarrhea, and you can continue taking Montmorillonite powder and probiotics. Additionally, you can add racemic dorudot particle. If the baby's mental state is good and the amount of stool is normal, there is generally no major issue. As the digestive function improves, the frequency of bowel movements will naturally decrease. In your case, you can gradually adjust the diet. Also, consider taking some digestive medication.
It's recommended that you give the baby some digestive aids, such as probiotics or lactase, and proceed step by step.
