Give syp Zinc and ORS. That is enough for watery diarrhea. Give antibiotic (if necessary) strictly as per pediatrician's prescription. Do not self medicate as it is harmful.
Next Steps
visit nearby pediatrician

Please use the antibiotic for 5/7 days course. If still not working, ask doctor to change the antibiotic. Do a stool culture sensitivity test.
Dosage for this weight is 3 ml twice daily
Next Steps
Stools can also be loose due to milk allergy. Go lactose free for few days and try.
