Hi ! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.
I would say that you may have a urinary tract infection.Your burning during urination , pain in lower abdomen , lower back pain may be due to the bluder infection.(cystitis) It may be a fungal infection sometimes after using antibiotic for many days may cause a fungal infection.It may be also a bacterial infection . So I'm this case I would recommend to do urine analysis to find out the cause . Your stomach bloating and tiredness may be side effects of antibiotics ,if You have diarrhea you should stop the antibiotics .Only your doctor can do the changes in treatment according tonthe examination. Meanwhile drink plenty of water .
Wish these help If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me .
