Brief Answer:
you are on right track

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Loose motion in infants take longer time to heal ( normally 10-14 days). Many a times infection gets cured but loose motions continue. If he passes 6-7 motions per day/good urine output/good activity/no fever/feeding well then don't worry. Medicines given by your doctor are correct.

Hope I answered your query

Best regards
