HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, antibiotic can not be given without any indication and here in your case it does not seems to be like that, if this is the diabetes then blood sugar level needs to be maintained on tight rule basis, for the diarrhea it may be self limiting condition but care needs to be taken for dehydration if symptoms does not improved then stool needs to be sent for testing and hope this information helps.
