Hi,
Taxim-O (Cefixime) is commonly prescribed to treat a variety of infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Its most common side effects include nausea, abdominal discomfort, indigestion and diarrhea which subside over a period of time.
It is considered to be safe during infancy hence it may be given as prescribed by the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
