Please advise [/INST] Hello loose stool is not mixed with blood and mucus, it is usually due to viral infection. Antibiotics are needed only if there is bacterial infection. Antibiotics when given reverently are harmful for the intestine as they kill the normal gut flora which are beneficial. The main aim of management in diarrhea is to prevent deny Chat Doctor.  Addition of probiotics and zinc helps in early recovery. Observe for frequency of urination, oral acceptance and behavior of the child and if you find any abnormality contact your physician. I won't get worried due to non-availability of antibiotic as it is not needed. Regards </s>
