How To Treat Loose Motion In A 6 Months Old Child?

Hi Dr, My baby is 6 months old and is suffering with loose motions since 5-6 days. His stools are some times watery and sometimes semi solid. Color changed to green since last two days. Medication prescribed by pead is Z n D drops for 10 day and sporlac powder for 3 days. After the stool routine, it is said that the infection is very mild and no need to try on anti boitics at this stage. (pus cells 8-9/hdf is the report result remaining all nil). After giving those medicines (sporlac and z n d given for one day till now), his stool became still darker green color and morw watery. Is that because of the zinc drops? Or sholud i start with anti boitics right now or should wait for 3 more days and decide as prescribed by the pead ? Kindly reply.
