HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the diarrhea and lower abdominal pain are side effects of the antibiotics. Antibiotics can commonly cause diarrhea.
Using probiotics with the antibiotics can help with this side effect.
The pain can also be a consequence of the urinary tract infection as well. You should consider continuing the course for a few days to see if improvement occurs.
I hope this helps
