these symptoms of diarrhea and irregular movement refers to viral or bacterial infection of your intestine or may be side effect of the antibiotics you have taken....
as some antibiotics makes intestinal irritabilty and gastric upset as side effects common with it.........also infection of the intestine has main role of these symptoms.........some times you should do blood test and the most important test in this case is stool culture test .......stool culture is very useful to detect type of infection as you may get infected with amoeba or salmonnela typhi or shigella or compylobacter bacteria or that should be managed with antibacterial drugs to get out your worry.........the first aim of investigations is to know the causative organism e....you shouldnot get stressed of these symptoms as stress will impair your immunity and cause symptoms to get worse.........you should administer plenty of fluids and rice soup and tea with little suger that helps improvement and do stool culture to detect cause and treatment begin simply..........you should avoid stress and psychological effects.. ........
wish you healthy life
