Brief Answer:
Hold Taxim O and start Ofloxacin-ornidazole suspension
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. It seems that your child is suffering from infective diarrhoea. The most appropriate line treatment is ORS, Antibiotic such as Ofloxacin-ornidazole ( Syp. Ornof OZ or O2), zinc supplement and probiotics such as Enterogermina. I would recommend you to change antibiotic from Taxim O to Ornof OZ/O2 and continue rest of the treatment. In case she doesn't accept ORS flavour, you may try with other flavours present at chemist stores. Hopefully she will be fine.
In case, the urine output is less than once every 4-6 hours along with poor acceptance of ORS and lethargy, it's advisable to visit ER for intravenous rehydration therapy.
Hopefully this will be of help. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
