enterogermina is a probiotic which improves digestion and reduces the quantity of stool volume. Clamp syrup(Amoxy-clav) has a well known side effect of causing loose stools. but this is transient and will resolve once the drug is discontinued.
Try giving some other drug for ear infection like cephalexin or cefuroxime.
