Is It To Be Concerned About Frequent Bowel Movement In Child?

My 7.5 month old is pooping very often. It is yellow and almost like dough. He does not have fever but did vomit 36 hours ago but has not since. He is pooping every couple hours. He is on antibiotic for an ear infection. Should I take him to the dr or wait it out?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the given history here look the frequency of stool passing during the day of 3 to 4 would be normal in pediatric age group here the possible reason of diarrhea would be antibiotic and this could be antibiotic induced diarrhea, no need to worry about this, this would come around soon, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
