HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrheal condition in pediatric age group are self limiting unless it is being diagnosed clinically for some infection, else passing of stool three to four time in day is normal one but dehydration would be matter of concern, better not to give any medicine if not needed hope this information helps.
