Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. Usually when teeth erupt, kids keep everything in mouth to get a soothing sensation while biting. This could be the reason for diarrhea.

It seems your kid is having acute watery  diarrhea. Unless the kid'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..

Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
