Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I can understand the reasons of hte loose stool can be of 2 types:
1. Antibiotic itself can cause.
2. Infection from the throat goes to the intestines to cause intestinal infection.
I would advise your the following:
Change over to another antibiotic.
Send a sample of stool for testing to get an idea what the problems may be.
Give some other probiotic like Darolac sachet.
Banana, activated charcoal tablets, curds/yogurt.
