Pediatrician, Infectious Diseases,  's  Response
Hi there. I understand your concern. Your son seems to be having a tummy infection. I would advise you to give him home-available fluids like tender coconut water, buttermilk, soups and lime juice with a pinch of sugar and salt to help replenish the losses. Avoid fruit juices which might cause more loose stools.
For the tummy infection, A 5 day course of antibiotic Cefixime will help.
Warning Signs:
If he is lethargic, not taking even liquids, passing urine less than once in 6 hours , take him to a pediatrician.
Hope this helps, take care!
