Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Diarrhoea is mostly due to side effect of amoxicillin.
Your other symptoms (cough, breathing difficulty) are more suggestive of bronchitis or pneumonia.
So get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
If pneumonia is there then you will need higher antibiotics.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
