We tried taking one medicine in a day to check which is causing loose motions but failed.
When we stop medicines , she cries in acute pain.

thank you Carolanivey, that does make sense.  Shalijab29, many drugs can cause this.  If you take a look under the Health Center tab you can see info on drugs http://www.medhelp.org/health_topics/list and on the health tools tab you can check for any interactions.  You should go back to the doctor to discuss her problems with the drugs and get advice.  She might want to try taking some Immodium to slow everything down.

Trudie, do you think she means loose bowel movements?

I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by loose motions.
