Brief Answer:
Due to the intake of antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I have gone through your query and medical history; it suggests that your condition may be due to the intake of antibiotic.

For this condition better to go for tablet sporalac twice a day for two days with oral rehydration solution, if it persists after that then consult your doctor for better diagnosis and management.

For your kind information-->Most often, antibiotic-associated diarrhea is mild and clears up shortly after you stop taking the antibiotic and may not require treatment.

Thanks

Sir
I stopped the antibiotic on 6/6/2014. even today the stools did not stop. is it due to antibiotic or any thing else?

Brief Answer:
Not antibiotic associated

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

In such cases, loose stools may not be related to antibiotics. Therefore it would be worthwhile to go for the stool examination to rule out the other disease.
