hi
as such in case of loose motions if the frequency is too much better to get the patient admitted that is to start with iv fluids, do the tests,monitor all the vitals,easy access to the doctors & nursing staff,
avoiding dehydration & giving antibiotics is the first line of treatment
antibiotics in case of viral infection just reduces the secondary infection.
take care
