It's take some time for antibiotic to act full (after 2-3 days) so yes it's dysentery (infection in stool) and you already started antibiotic, continue antibiotic and other medications which is prescribed. Give ors and zinc and more mother's milk.
Next Steps
if symptoms persist consult Pediatrician.

It can be infection only. Antibiotics also started. So wait for atleast 2 more days to get response and follow your doctors advise... If it is persisting for long time then it can be evaluated for other conditions...
