Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic.  It seems your kid is having acute watery  diarrhea. 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. Antibiotics (Zifi or cefixime should be used only if there's blood in the motion) might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS... Once diarrhea starts it will be there for 5-7 days.. Don't worry if the kid is active and voiding urine well.
