A broad spectrum antibiotic like la-200 or biomycin. These are injectables. You could also give the calf an antibiotic bolus instead of the injectable antibiotic. Also spray the navel with gentle iodine.

Do calves have umbilical cords?

What happens if a baby calf's umbilical cord falls off early?
Please define "early." Are you referring to the umbilical cord falling off pre-birth or post-partum? If it's the latter, that's completely normal, and nothing to worry about. If it's the former, the calf's chances of survival in the womb for a long period of time is greatly reduced if you don't pull the calf out immediately.
Why does calf still have diarrhea nursing on cow?
Diarrhea, or scours, occurs if there's a digestive upset the calf is experiencing, such as from bacterial or viral infection or coccidial infection. Anything, really, can cause a calf to scour, whether it's environmental stressers or parasites or, as mentioned, exposure to bacteria in the gut. Either way, the calf will need to be given electrolytes to prevent dehydration--even if he's on milk--and quarantined so that if he has an infection that is contagious to other calves, he won't give it to them either. You will have to contact your vet so that some tests can be done to see what's making him scour, why and what can be done about it.
Where is the naval of the cow?
