Hi....by what you say I feel that your kid might be going through a bacterial or bacillary dysentery.
Rather than Normetrogyl, a better and safer option would be giving Cefixime.
It is given at the dose of 8mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses for a period of 5 days.
This is a prescription drug and you will need one for it.
