Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
As per reports your baby is havong infective diarrhea which is bacterial in nature.
I suggest you to get him examined by pediatrician as course of antibiotic is needed.
In the meantime monitor and maintain his hydration.
Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stool.
Also give lemonade,coconut water,curd,rice porridge,boiled potato,banana.
Give probiotic 2 times a day.
Watch for urine output/feeding pattern/increased thirst.
