Consult a good Paediatrician. You may need to get investigations like stool culture, CBC,etc. done. The doctor will probably prescribe appropriate antibiotic course, while awaiting results, and changing accordingly later as per response and report.
Any symptoms of fever, loose stools ? May need hospital admission if dehydrated for IV fluids or showing signs of sepsis.
