Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. You need not worry unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting.
There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your pediatrician).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
