Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Antibiotics help only if there is bacterial infection. 90 percent of the loose motions are because of viral infection. |Antibiotics have no role if it is a viral infection.In case of bacterial infection there will be blood or mucus in the stool along with fever.

Monitor for signs of dehydration.
They include
1. Decreased skin turgor
2. Increasing thirst.
3. Sunken eyes.
4. Irritability.
5. Drowsiness.
6. Decreasing passage of urine.



Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
