Brief Answer: Give him oral electrolyte solution Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to health care magic. Loose stools are usually viral in nature unless there is blood in stools and baby is toxic. Usually probiotics like nutrolin should be good. Also give him oral electrolyte solution like electral 100 ml for each motion. Make sure he passes 6 times minimum urine in a day. Wishing speedy recovery. Regards
