Hi,
Mox suspension can cause loose stools or gastrointestinal upset as a side effect. This antibiotic can be stopped and other groups of antibiotics can be started if cold and cough persists.
Antibiotics can kill the beneficial bacteria in the intestine which can cause diarrhoea in many patients. Probiotics can reduce such antibiotic induced diarrhea.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
