Hi,
If there no fever, stools are not blood stained and he is otherwise active, we need not worry and antibiotics are not usually indicated in such cases. It will settle in a couple of days. Cut down fruits, juices and sugars in diet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
