Hi
Thanks for contacting us.
Your son is 16months old and now has loose stools,low grade fever and irritability.
There is no red signal in your history except for duration (5days).
May be u need to start with antibiotics covering aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with probiotics under a paediatrician guidance because if it has been of viral oetiology it should have got settled.
keep feeding the kid with bland diet and replenish with fresh fruit juices with no added sugar and tender coconut water
