Hi...by what you quote he should be going through a viral diarrhea and as he is active and drinking fluid well, you need not worry. Main thing is maintain good hydration and maintaining good urine output. if both are already good, you need not worry. i suggest you add oral zinc supplements and oral re-hydration solution. Please breast feeding and avoid giving fruit juices.
