Very common: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) very commonly causes loose stools especially in kids. If she'll eat yogurt that might help.

Probiotics.: Antibiotics can cause diarrhea due to the change in the composition and function of intestinal flora.It is usually self limiting.Taking probiotics with antibiotics help by keeping the good flora intact in the gut.
