Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Passing motion after every motion is normal in 4 month old baby due to brisk gastrocolic reflux.
Formula fed babies may pass green motion sometimes.
Infection also causes loose motions.
Antibiotic is not necessary as it is caused by rota virus which is self limited.
You may give Sporolac sachet orally once daily.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
