HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I had gone through the history given, the diarrheal condition in pediatric age group is self limiting and it may not need such vigorous antibiotic treatment but parents have to be very much patience just a care needs to be taken for dehydration.
if evidence is there for infection then antibiotic should be avoided, and if it need to be confirmed then I would suggest to get done the stool culture sensitivity, many antibiotic could be the cause of diarrhea, better to stop it and take care for dehydration and probiotic can be tried in lyophilized form (sachets )
hope this information helps.
