Hi,
if he is eating and drinking fine you don't need to send him to hospital.
Just add to his diet oral rehydration solution in between meals.
You can give up to 100-150 ml for each episode of diarrhea.
All the child needs is to replace the salt that is lost with diarrhea, you can do it perfectly orally.
