Hi,
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting. You need not worry. As you say that your kid is able to keep down the liquids which you give him, that means, I take it that he is not dehydrated. So do not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
