Kindly give ORS and oral zinc first for the watery stools, you need to keep the child hydrated as much as possible but if no improvement then take the child to see a doctor.

A child with diarrhoea and bloated tummy OBVIOUSLY HAS ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE (HYPOKALEMIA) - one of the complications of diarrhoea not properly managed. Kindly take the child to THE CHILDREN EMERGENCY ROOM OF THE CLOSEST TEACHING HOSPITAL for an appropriate management.
Keep a clean environment, observe good hygienic practices in preparing your child's feeds, feeding him and storing his feeding materials.
