Don't worry. your kid will be fine.Its just osmotic diarrhea.He is having extra water loss from his gut which was drawn by excessive sugar intake (Thums up).Just limit excessive sugar intake for time being.Keep him hydrated by oral rehydration solution.Better start syrup zinc to lessen the duration and prevention of next episode.Hope you find this satisfactory.Good luck
