Hi...it seems your kid is having acute watery diarrhea. Unless he's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS...Happy to help anytime. If my answer has helped you...kindly rate it.
