Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, the child had some infection in the intestine. The source of the infection may not be visible.
I advise you to consult a pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin syrup,dicyclomine drops,and lacticacidbacill .
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
