My son is 3 months old. He is passing motion 4 to 5 times during the day and nights. He have cold from 4 days. We have consulted the pediatrician for this condition and mandatory vaccination. He was vaccinated on 20th Jan. The doctor has informed us to use the nasal drops for cold and has not prescribed anything for motions.  Kindly advise us on this.
