Are Frequent Bowel Movements A Side Effect Of Mahacef-OZ And Cifran-CT?

Sir, Last month 14th i went kshara patana treatment for internal hemorrhoids at a local ayurvedic hospital. After this procedure they prescribed Mahcef oz antibiotic, pain killer and one tablet to take before food for 10 days.. All are allopathic medicines only. AFter 5 days, i told doctor that blood is coming in stools he asked me to take Cifran CT for 3 days and again continue Mahacef oz for remaining days. while taking that tablets i experienced dizziness, nausea, altered taste ,white patches on tongue. Normal motions i used to go 3-4 times daily but with some bad smell some uneasiness in stomach, light cramps. after the course i stopped completely since 24th march, iam not taking any tablets. But even now i am passing stools daily 3-4 times, always some discomfort in stomach. just i want to know whether this is because of antibiotics side effects or any infection in stomach. how can i rule out. Normally if i eat outside normally my stomach used to get upset with mucos and blood stains and with bad smell.

Hello,

Antibiotics like Mahacef and Cifran can cause loose stools.
As first line management you can take anti motion drugs like Racecadotril for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist you can consult your physician and consider alternatives.

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