Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea or movicol induced diarrhea. Please stop movicol. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
