Infant diarrhea requires timely hydration to prevent dehydration. Probiotic medications can be used to regulate intestinal flora in cases of infant diarrhea, such as Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis granules, or Clostridium butyricum and Bifidobacterium powders, which help correct dysbiosis and improve diarrhea symptoms. If infant diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection, oral administration of amoxicillin granules may be used for treatment under a doctor's instructions.
