How should infant and child diarrhea be treated?

Patient's question:

My baby is five months old. Recently, my baby has been experiencing some symptoms of diarrhea, and the diarrhea has been a bit severe. The baby is only five months old, and I feel a bit lost and unsure of what to do. How should infant diarrhea be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your baby is currently experiencing diarrhea. There are many reasons for diarrhea, and most five-month-old babies suffer from it due to dietary factors. You can give your baby probiotics, which can help regulate the gut flora and have no side effects. Additionally, it is essential to prevent dehydration during your baby's diarrhea. If the diarrhea is severe, you can appropriately give your baby Montmorillonite powder.
