There are only specific indication for starting antibiotics. Mostly cause of diarrhea is viral so avoid antibiotics until indicated. Just start with syp zinc 5 ml once a day daily, ors 10 ml after every stool, enterogermina ampoules 1 daily. Keep check on signs of dehydration like decreased urine output oral mucosa dry lethargy blood in stool. Not taking anything orally in above cases you need to see a doctor immediately.

Hello. A 6 month child is quite unlikely to develop mucus stools. The medicine you are referring to is an antibiotic which should be used very carefully, only after doctor's advice. So please consult a pediatrician directly before giving.
