Hello,

Your symptoms can be due to side effects of antibiotics and as per the explanation the symptoms look severe. So my suggestion is to immediately consult an emergency room and get evaluated and proper medication to control diarrhea and vomiting like Ondansetron, Loperamide, etc., can be advised to you. Also proper fluid management as you are already a dialysis patient and both excess fluid and dehydration can worsen the condition. So it is advisable to get treated under supervision of your physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
