HI
Well come to HCM
Most of the time GE is self limiting and does not need any treatment but of course hydration is matter, if still baby have some symptoms of Gastroenteritis then it is advisable to get done the stool examination, because possibility of protozoa infection may be likely, if this turned positive then need to be treated accordingly, in my opinion try to avoid unnecessary medicines, this could be harmful than helpful, hope this information helps.
