Hi,
As per the history you have provided, there is a possibility of having gastrointestinal disturbance due to viral infection and/or due to antibiotic causing the symptoms.
Jaundice is usually a painless condition and hence may or may not be present.
Simple tests of blood for CBC, liver and kidney functions along with Ultrasonography of the abdomen can confirm the diagnosis and help establish the cause so that proper management can be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
