Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Young infants are more prone for viral diarrhea than bacterial causes. But stomach infections are common in children as they tend to put their fingers in their mouths after touching contaminated surfaces. Ondem is an antiemetic and is useful for vomiting.
Taxim is Cefexime which is a broad spectrum antibiotic useful for bacterial infections. Side effects could be bloating and loose stools. I suggest you complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed, hydration should be maintained by giving small sips of water at regular intervals. Fluid diet is recommended.
If cough increases, he should be shown to his pediatrician immediately.

Thanks.
