Don't worry
Drowsiness and tiredness is because of loose stools where all the body fluids including Electrolytes are gone.
So to make him active just give More liquids like ORS, Coconut water, Butter milk, Curd

Diarrhoea is most commonly due to virus and treatment is plenty of fluids and can last upto a week. And Loose stools seems to be reducing, but your child seems to be drowsy and complaints of abdominal pain, this might need consultation and need for ultrasound abdomen.
