Brief Answer:
Please be patient.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

It seems that your child is having an antibiotic associated diarrhea. It occurs when the antibiotic (Azee) kills off the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria. Irrespective of your giving medicines it will go on for 3-4 days. Please be patient. Continue the medicines as directed. Give ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the lost water and salts.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
