Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

At this age causes of loose stools is excessive ingestion of saliva due to teething, GI tract infection, etcetera.

I suggest you to give him lots of oral fluids to avoid dehydration. You can give him a banana, soft rice with fresh curd, yogurt, rice and green gram porridge etcetera. keep his toys, hands, and floor clean to avoid infection. Don't allow him to suck his fingers. You can continue the probiotic syrup along that can give Norbin Gyl. This is a prescribing medication so consult your doctor before giving it to your son.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Preeti B
