Hi,
He is having acute gastroenteritis. Your doctor has given the right drug (antibiotics) to control the infection. Even after fever comes down, it may take few more days (3-5) for his bowel habits to become normalised. Nothing to worry if stool is not bloody, he is active and play full and feeding well. Anyhow, you can give Zinc sulfate syrup 5ml once daily for 2 weeks. This will hasten recovery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
