ORS needs to be given after each loose stool to prevent dehydration. You can give 200 ml after each loose motion. In addition you can give Zinc syrup like Zn 20 which has 20 mg elemental zinc in 5 ml. If you feel he is not passing urine in a 6-8 hour interval, he may be dehydrated and you should see your nearest Pediatrician.
