Hello,
Your baby is on medication for acid reflux disease.
Recently she is suffering from Urinary tract infection for which she is on Amoxicillin.
Now she has frequent stools.
This is one of the most common side effects of Amoxicillin therapy.
This is called antibiotic induced diarrhea.
The drug in the process of destroying the pathogenic organism also destroys the normal flora of the gut which induces diarrhea.
Probiotics will help.
