HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, diarrhea is almost self limiting in this age group and hydration is matter of concern only, antibiotic works only when it is indicated else giving antibiotic may some time lengthen the course of disease, get done the stool culture sensitivity test that will show whether this is bacterial infection or not, hope this information helps, take care.
