Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Some times, Antibiotics might be causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. PROBIOTICS COULD DEFINITELY BE OF HELP AS IT COULD BE ANTIBIOTIC ASSOCIATED DIARHOEA.
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.
