Suggest Treatment For Frequent Watery Stools For A 6.5-month-old?

Hello, my baby is 6.5 months old. He is doing watery stools since sunday. On sunday we gave him ors, but no improvement was there. Then we consulted his paediatrician, he started with ors, zinc once in a day and enterogermina twice daily. I am giving these medicines since monday but there is no improvement, his stool count is 20 in a day. He is on breastfeed and even my stomach is also upset since saturday. What should i do?
