Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The most likely reason for such complaints in Toddlers is viral gastroenteritis. You may give racecadotril granules thrice daily along with Syp ZnD or Zinconia once daily. Keep him well hydrated by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, buttermilk, soups, ORS etc.

Hopefully it will be of help. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
