Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi You are having persistent diarrhea and pain in joints and muscles.
In my opinion your diarrhea has not been fully corrected , so you continue the course of antibiotics and oral rehydration fluids.
Your pain and aches are secondary to electrolyte imbalance and once you recover from diarrhea , your pains and aches will be gone.
If you feel that diarrhea is severe then it will be better to consult a physician.
I find this answer helpful
