What is the reason for the child's diarrhea for more than 10 days without improvement?

Patient's question:

An 8-month-old child has had diarrhea for over 10 days. They are still experiencing mild nasal discharge. They have bowel movements 3-5 times a day! The stool is foamy! Urgent response needed...

Doctor's answer:

Hello, dear parent, it's a pleasure to assist you. If the baby is in good spirits and feeding normally, without any purulent or bloody stools, and is maintaining normal spirits and feeding, the current condition may indicate a gastrointestinal functional disorder. In this case, oral probiotics can help regulate gastrointestinal function, and montmorillonite can be taken on an empty stomach to protect the intestinal mucosa. If there are no fever symptoms, for the runny nose symptom, it can be temporarily observed.
