Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. Usually when teeth erupt, kids keep everything in mouth to get a soothing sensation while biting. This could be the reason for diarrhea.
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 might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS..
