Brief Answer:
Gastroenteritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Your child seems to be suffering from an infective diarrhea episode. I would recommend you to get his stool routine and microscopic examination done from a lab. Continue with econorm and Z & D. Hold enuff for the time being.
Upload the report of stools examination so that I can suggest you the definitive treatment accordingly.

Ensure proper diet and adequate hydration. ORS is advisable if the stools are very frequent and liquid.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
