Hi there,
Your daughter is presenting with persistent diarrhea (diarrhea lasting for more than 14 days) which is usually as a result of an underlying diseases/infection which will require specific diagnosis. Antibiotics resistance could be the reason for the persistence, so that will explain why even after taking taxim-o-forte the diarrhea still persist. Also if the cause is not a bacterial infection then antibiotics is useless, reason why specific cause has to be determined and treated. In the mean time, consider give the child oral rehydration therapy and zinc supplements to present dehydration and electrolytes imbalance. The other drugs are mostly supplements and probiotics which might have little benefit in terms of improving the diarrhea.
Stool exams and culture will be required to determine infectious cause.
I suggest you get your child to the pediatrician as soon as you can.
Hope this helps
