Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
usually diarrhea is self limited.
3-4 motions is normal for that age.
As pus is seen asper your version you may ask for microscopic examination of stools to exclude or confirm infective diarrhea.
Better consult pediatrician if it turns out to be infective diarrhea .
Hope this reply is OK for you.
