Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that loose motions are antibiotic induced.

You can give him probiotic. This will restore the useful bacterial flora, which is destroyed by antibiotics (especially zifi).

Also discuss with the doctor for role of continuing zifi when already he is taking ofloxacin(zenflox).

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
