Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Persistent watery diarrhea in a 10 month old with vomiting needs antibiotic treatment if the diarrhea persists for more than three days. You casn get the specific treatment prescribed from his pediatrician after a physical examination.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
