Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
6 to 7 stools/day are normal for 4 months old baby.
Zifi (Cefixime) causes loose motions as a side effect.
Hence there is nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
