How To Get Rid Of Stomach Infection?

Hi, My 2 yr old son is suffering from stomach infection for 2 weeks now. Initially he was not given any medication except Enterogermina Oral Suspension (5ml/day) and Z&D DS 20 (1 ml/day). However, now there is mucous in his very watery smelly greenish stool. Doctor has prescribed CEFOLAC 100 (3ml twice a day for 5 days). Is it safe to use this antibiotic for a 2 year old kid?
