Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child has greenish watery loose stools and low grade fever, the child is probably suffering from stomach infection.
In stomach infection, there are loose stools, fever, pain abdomen and dehydration can also occur.
If I was your treating doctor, i would have given syrup cefixime (5 ml =50 mg) 5 ml three times a day for 3 days with enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days and ORS solution 100 ml each stool to prevent dehydration.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
