Hi,
Usually this particular medication does not cause loose motion. But any syrup will contain sugary syrupy base which might cause osmotic diarrhea. Keep the kid well hydrated and make sure there is urine output at least once in 6 hours. You need to avoid fruit juices and high sugar containing food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
