My kid had fever and doctor examined and said there is little throat congestion and suggested if fever is not decreasing after 2 days to start antibiotics rapiclav. After starting he got loose motion where motion is like complete liquid.This happened 2-3 times.Is it side effect of the antibiotics? Should I go to doctor again.
