Hi...this seems like a viral diarrhea. Unless there is blood in the stools, there is no need to use antibiotics. Sometimes antibiotics aggravate diarrhea due to antibiotic associates diarrhea. Unless the kid is having very low urine output/ blood in stools/ green colored bilious vomiting/ seizures/ abdominal distension/ lethargic...you need not worry.
I suggest you stop antibiotic and start using Zinc supplements and ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution).
