Hi,
Thank you for your query,
You continue Taxim O as prescribed by your Pediatrician for urinary tract infection.
Loose motions may be due to antibiotic associated and requires probiotic like econorm or lactobacillus.
You can give rinifol, but consult your Pediatrician for the dosage.
Give sips of oral rehydrating solutions to prevent dehydration.
If loose motions are not controlled, consult your doctor again.
Hope I have answered your query.
