Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

Well there is no relation between nephritic syndrome and his loose motions.

Numerous wbc in stools indicate bacterial infection of the gut . The loose motions will last for 2-3 days if at all started on proper antibiotic course else it can persists for weeks .

I would like to know what antibiotic has been started on him , If loose motions persists even after 3 days of antibiotic then it would be better to get a stool culture sensitivity test.

There is no need to give him steroids. Also hydrate him well by giving plenty of water and fruits juice.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
