Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
It seems your kid is having acute dysentery. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
As there is blood in the motion there is need for antibiotics, Preferably Oral Cefixime. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS along with Cefixime. For vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron 0.15mg/kg/dose thrice a day, 30minutes before feeds.
Kindly approach your doctor for antibiotic dosing.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
