Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.It seems your kid is having acute watery 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 be needed in your kid's case as she has blood in the stool suggestive of bacterial infection. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS... Kindly see your primary care physician on the advice on antibiotics. 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.
