Brief Answer:
please go through answer.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I would suggest you is to get Electral/ORS solution from local store/pharmacy and give him at least 200ml after every motion.
Tab imodium 4mg thrice daily to stop stools.Its over the counter.Things would be much better after 2nd dose.
Any probiotic can be taken twice daily.
Till now its was all over the counter.
If you can manage get a prescription for him-
Cefiximine 200mg twice daily
Metronidazole 400mg thrice daily(would cover bacteria and protozoans also).

Keep a watch on blood pressure and pulse.
If pulse is more then 110/minute or Upper blood pressure is less then 100mm of hg shift to the nearest emergency room.
Regards.
