Hi Uma,
Thanks for your query .
I can understand your concerns.
If he is exhausted, not at all drinking any thing and passing loose stool, then I would recommend that he should be given fluids intravenously.
However if he is tolerating fluids then you should give him extra fluid and ORS.
Generally antibiotics are not recommended for loose motions.
Monitor his hydration status, if there is any blood or fever or child starts vomit every thing then immediately visit you doctor.
Change his diaper after every loose stool, note that how much urine he is passing.
Give him zinc supplementation, banana and rice water.
Hope I have answered ,if you have any other query , I would be honored to reply.
Wishing sweet kiddo a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr.Imran
