Hi...this looks like a viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will be there for 5-7 days. The only treatment required is replacement of fluids lost from the body. You need not worry unless the kid is having blood in stools, very low urine output, green colored vomiting and abdominal distension.
Antibiotic should be used only if there is blood in the motion. If unnecessarily used, antibiotic will increase the diarrhea (antibiotic associated diarrhea). I don't think you should be continuing Taxim-O unless there is blood in motion.
