Well, as a parent I would suggest that antibiotics are essential if prescribed by doctor. You could instantly try and give ORS to the child to help him hydrate quickly as well as increase liquids. Since he is also undergoing teething, it is essential that you help the child to stop the loose motions first. On the other hand try and take advise from the doctor to prescribe him with some energy and micronutrient based drink for him to gain weight early.
