Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Based on what you refer loose motion is caused by bacteria. Your child is dehydrated due to diarrhea and he need an intravenous rehydration. To do this you should take him immediately to the Emergency Room.
A stool culture, a complete blood count and an urine test are necessary for the diagnosis.
I hope my answer is helpful.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
