A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor (again): There are many reasons for persistant diarrhea. You child has taken two very good antibiotics without improvement. Time to re-evaluate to figure out cause. Once cause known, appropriate treatements can be discussed. Loperamide is not recommended for small children.
