Hi...by what you quote I feel that this could be -
1. Irritable bowel syndrome
2. Worm infestation.
3. Persistent diarrhea
Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
