No need to give antibiotics for constipation..the watery stool could be aost effect of taxim antibiotic...pls stop it if u are using for not passing stools..give him more liquids..one and half time more than what he drinks..continue feeding...if constipation persists ,check his thyroid profile for hypothyroidism presents with constipation sometimes...give him lactulose 10 ml night dose for temporary relief of constipation instead of antibiotics.
