Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of loose stools and pain in the roof of the mouth. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food allergies , irritable bowel syndrome or appendicitis. But in your case the symptoms are probably due to side effects of antibiotics . You should take probiotics food thrice a day to relieve the symptoms. You should avoid intake of outside food. For now eat light and non spicy , take antacid after every meal, drink plenty of water and take light walk after every meal. If symptoms persists consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy or stool test. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , laxative , ornidazole or albendazole. You should take small and frequent meals and avoid taking large meals at at time.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
