Hi
You have not mentioned the name of antibiotics.Antibiotic use can definitely cause constipation and burning sensation while urinating.
Drink plenty of fluids to flush out the drug.Fruit juice and tender coconut is also recommended in case you are not a diabetic.
Eat high fibre diet to soften the stools.Laxatives like liquid paraffin 15ml can be taken at night for 3 to 5 days to reduce discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
