Hello.
Daily watery stool with foul smell from such a long period of time along with nightly fever would indicate either an underlying infection of the gastrointestinal tract or due to malabsorption and indigestion of food. You should get your child consulted with a child specialist doctor who can assess his condition and then recommend the appropriate enzyme supplements and a proper dietary regime. Regards.
