Watery stool
My 1.5 month baby boy, 4.2 kg is passing watery stool 6-8 times a day from 15 days. The stool is seed like yellow solid and four times water. No other symptoms. He is breastfeed. He urinate many times(10+). Local Dr gave walamycin drops 15 ml 3 times for 5 days..No improvement. Then he prescribed monocef 250mg injection for 5 days. Today is 5th day and no improvement. He also had vitazyme, enzyme drops, erythromax.
Is this really abnormal stool?
Is there any other way for treatment than injection ?because he is very small and tolerating injection pain from 5 days.
Please help!

Is your baby admitted to some hospital or you are treating him as an output. Were any blood investigation done??
I think with this incomplete information it's very difficult to comment on ongoing treatment.

Stop all medications.
Give breastfeed only, every 2-3 hours.
Make full packet ORS solution in 1 litre water like we do in adults, and give the child abiut 40ml ORS after each loose motion.
Also will need zinc syrup for 14 days.
Health Tips
If anal region redness also present along with loud farts, take consultation from a pediatrician. The child will need local ointment, because she might be crying due to that pain, also leading to poor intake.
