You should consider going in for a stool culture examination to see which bugs are causing the problem and to which medicines (antibiotics) are they likely to respond. Only after this you may decide about which drugs to give. On the other hand, if a culture cannot be done or is inconvenient, costly or not available, you can repeat a six day course of Cefixime only and see what the results are.
