You can use oral rehydration solution (ORS-Electral)available over the counter. Don't stop eating or drinking due to fear of diarrhea. Body will treat the situation on hits own.As diarrhea is the mechanism to thrown out the infection out of body. However if diarrhea continues for more than two days with fever , vomiting and abdominal pain, you should take him to doctor.He may needed some IV drip and antibiotic.
