Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concern...

Well, at this outset it's important to know whether the initial symptoms i.e. stomach upset is still there or not...I believe you meant to say loose motion, if it's still there then you should get Stool routine and microanalysis with culture and sensitivity study done...

Mouth ulcers are quite commonly seen during a bout of infection and lowered immunity, the scalp problem may or may not be related to Ofloxacin (Ornof), hence I'd suggest you get yourself checked up by an Internal Medicine specialist for a thorough clinical evaluation...there may be some further investigations required based on these findings...taking some vitamin B-complex supplements may be considered based on them...

For symptomatic relief, you may apply Benzocaine (topical anesthetic) products like Orajel twice daily over the ulcers for the next few days...

Additionally, drink plenty of mineral/U.V.RO. purified water throughout the day, avoid outside foods strictly...also avoid eating too hot/salty/fried foods for the time being...Take extra precautions while brushing, use an extra soft bristles toothbrush...

You can do Betadine gargling and mouthwash twice daily for the time being...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
