If a 5-month-old baby’s watery diarrhea is caused by physiological factors, it typically resolves spontaneously without requiring specific treatment. Simply clean the baby’s buttocks frequently and change diapers promptly. If the symptom results from improper feeding, probiotics may be used under a physician’s guidance for regulation; a commonly prescribed medication is Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium live bacterial granules.
