Looks like bacillary dysentry... its should get control with the antibiotics which were already given by your doctor...loose stools will take few days to get control. Till then you should maintain hydration with liquids like ORS. You may add Redotil sachet thrice a day and Z&D drops 1ml once a day
Next Steps
If baby is dull, poor feeding and less urine consult your pediatrician immediately
