What to Do When a 7-Month-Old Baby Has Diarrhea?

The baby is seven months and five days old. On the evening of November 23, the baby had a bowel movement and vomited after drinking formula. The next morning, the baby started to have a fever of 37.5 degrees Celsius. After taking children’s Chai Gui powder and a fever-reducing patch, the temperature gradually returned to normal. However, the baby started to have a fever again an hour later, with a peak temperature of 38.9 degrees Celsius. The fever was controlled with ibuprofen syrup. After the fever subsided, the baby started to have diarrhea for two days, about five times a day. Probiotics and Montmorillonite powder were taken, and plasters were applied. The probiotics were continued, while the Montmorillonite powder was taken for two days. As of today, November 28, it has been five days since the onset of symptoms. Today, the baby started having loose stools, about four times a day. Today, one dose of Montmorillonite powder was taken, probiotics were continued, and rehydration salts were also started (the ingredients suggest mixing one packet with 500 milliliters of water, but I found it too concentrated, so I mixed one packet with 1500 milliliters of water, and started drinking it in the afternoon). How long will these symptoms last for my baby, and what other treatments are needed?
