Hello
Opox CV may be one of the cause of loose motion. Loose motion may be due to the infection also. Many a times cough and loose stool both occur simultaneously. Give her ORS to prevent dehydration. You can use sporolac too as it will help in both antibiotic induced and infective diarrhea.
If loose stool persists, there is poor oral acceptance or decreased urine output consult your physician immediately.
