If the baby is otherwise normal and playfull, nothing to worry.
Moreover u mentioned the age of 5 months. As we pediatricians advice exclusive breast feeding up to 6 months and if u are following that then your baby doesn't require any treatment.
If dehydration is there and by is with sick look, then we can go for medicines like Zinc, ORS.

During teething, due to irritation of gums, the baby puts finger in mouth, which may cause infection. Keep baby's hands clean.

If baby is active and playful, no fever, passing adequate urine ie. minimum 6-8 times per day, then no need to worry for motion ( once in 7 days or 15 times per day- both conditions normal).
Don't give so much importance to motion unless blood in motion or bad smelling motion or white colour motion.
Keep ur baby well hydrated
Exclusive breast feed ur baby till completing 6months of age.
Don't give water and all other food items at this age.
Wait for some more days
Everything will be alright.
If blood in motion/persistant foul smelling motion or less urine output then consult online
