Looks like viral diarrhea which can last for a few days more. The goal of treatment is to prevent dehydration. The child should be passing urine and be active. Don't keep on changing doctors and medicines as it will not help.
Visit a pediatrician for check up and second opinion

Is your baby on bottle feeding?
If yes, then stop at the earliest.

Passing 10-12 times a day is concerning.Is baby feeding well? Is baby active and thirsty?. Take plenty of water and ors. Avoid sugery fluids.

If your baby is having diarrhoea and passing loose stools continously there are chances that baby might end up in dehydration
It is better to visit a near by paediatrician and get baby checked
Diarrhoea with fever sometimes takes time to resolve its in the best interest of baby to get the child checked near by

If your baby is active, drinking feeds and passing urine normally, continue ORS, feeds and zinc. However, since there are still 10–12 watery stools/day after 3 days, please have the baby examined to assess hydration. Seek urgent care if urine output decreases, baby becomes lethargic, refuses feeds, or develops persistent vomiting.

Greetings
watery diarrhea occurring 10–12 times a day along with a history of vomiting and fever.With this high frequency of watery stools, the immediate priority is protecting against severe dehydration.Please seek an urgent, in-person pediatric evaluation to assess fluid levels and check for underlying bacterial or viral causes.Possible explanations for these prolonged symptoms include acute viral gastroenteritis, a bacterial bowel infection, or temporary lactose intolerance.
