Hello,
Probably, your intestinal flora is altered so you may use probiotics along with antibiotics. Avoid spicy food and oily food. Use yogurt or cap.gut ok twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
