I gone through your question, and understand your concern
As you said that you giving zifi(cefexime ) since last 3 days and no improvement in loose motion with blood.
I my opinion ( And as per WHO protocol) as there is not response cefixine the antibiotics to be changed to ciprofloxin 15mg per kg per day in two divided dose. and zinc to be added 20 mg per day to above treatment.
hope i answer your query
