Hi...by what you quote, it seems like an antibiotic associated 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 sometimes cause antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS along with probiotics containing specifically Saccharomyces boulardii.
