Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
Are you using the antibiotics till now? if so then they cause loose stools after prolonged use. How is your child's fever? has it come come down in between and again started? if so it can be a new infection now.
Kindly note that for any infection a 5 to 7 days course of antibiotics is usually enough unless its typhoid. Kindly get your child checked up and start her on probiotic sachets to improve her gut flora and reduce her stools.
Hope this has helped you.
Your vote of thanks is appreciated,
Good luck,
