HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrhea in this age group is self limiting and may not need any specific treatment but dehydration is the main concern, passing the stool three to four time in day is normal one, if the symptoms persist for long time then it is better to see the pediatrician, but is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
