Thank you for your question, wanted to assure you that it is just a side effect of antibiotics and once it stops then also motion continues for some time, it will be ok on its own by 3-4 days, if still continues then I suggest to consult either online or at clinic

Hi.
Loose stools will take a week to settle. If child is active and eating well, nothing to worry.
