Brief Answer:
It is normal to pass stool 3-4 times a day for an infant
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcare magic.
I have gone through the details provided. Based on the details I do not think abnormal that passing stool 3-4 times a day for a child of this age. In any case oflomac M is a good antibiotic which should be able to take care of any underlying gastrointestinal infection that could possibly be the cause.
However, I would suggest you to take the following steps:
1. Give plenty of curd as it contains beneficial bacteria.
2. Give Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) after mixing in appropriate quantity of water.
3. Give fiber rich foods like green leafy vegetables.
About the sore throat, it is likely to be an independent infection. Oflomac M should also take care of it. Give some antiallergic like cetirizine syrup for a few days.
Hope that helps
Regards
