Brief Answer:
Give a prebiotic like enterogermina ampule

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

Sometimes, when we give an antibiotic course, the normal gut flora gets disrupted and results in loose stools.
I suggest you to give enterogermina ampule (bacillus clausii) once a day for 3 days.
Continue antibiotic.
Loose stools will settle down in 48 hours.

I hope this will help you.
Take care.
