Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After readingyour post, it seems that you are having antibiotic induced diarrhoea.
Antibiotics usually destroy the normal bacterial flora present in the intestine.
These bacteria are useful bacteria which help in the process of digestion and absorption of food.
Destruction of these bacterial flora result in loose soft and frequent stools.
You should take Lactobacillus preparation to regain this lost useful bacterial flora. Once the flora is regained, you will feel relief from your symptoms.
Eating yoghurt will also be beneficial.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that due to antibiotic your normal intestinal flora is disturbed giving rise to loose motions.
Take Lactobacillus,yeast capsules for few days.
Take plenty of curd and buttermilk.
Avoid spicy and junk food.
Take apple, banana, Dadam fruits.
If there is no improvement then go for stool test to rule out any intestinal infection.
Ok and bye.
