Brief Answer:
Yes, you can give it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Loose stools during teething occurs due to infection. Infection is mostly due to taking things in mouth.

For this, you should start vitamin d drops so that teething occurs smoothly and child stops taking things in mouth due to irritation of guys.

I have seen the picture that you have attached. It contains bacillus clausii which is a prebiotic and will be helpful in loose stools. But, it should not be given more than 5 days at once.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
