Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry - you need to give probiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hi... you need not worry. Usually this might cause some diarrhea.... antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
This is what you should do -
1. Stop giving any further dose of Azithromycin.
2. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
3. You may need to give probiotics, especially Saccharomyces boulardii. It is available as Econorm XXXXXXX You can give one XXXXXXX thrice a day for 5 days. But this is a prescription drug and you will need a doctor's prescription for it.
