Brief Answer:
No problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Loose stools can happen as a result of urinary tract infection.
Continue Taxim-O syrup.
I usually prescribe probiotics like saccharomyces for a few days for loose stools to settle along with zinc at 10 mg per day for 10 days.
Ensure you feed her frequently and she passes urine atleast six to eight times a day.
This will ensure hydration and also help in flushing the infection.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr Arun
