What should I do if the baby catches a cold and has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is three years old this year. Recently, he had a diarrhea symptom due to catching a cold. Sometimes he has three or four bowel movements a day, but his spirits are quite good. I would like to ask, what should I do if the baby has diarrhea after catching a cold?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby has diarrhea due to catching a cold, for mild symptoms, it is best to regulate it through diet. Make sure the child stays warm and follows a light diet. If the symptoms are more severe, you can take appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as Montmorillonite or probiotics. Both of these medications have excellent effects on regulating the gastrointestinal tract.
