Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think diarrhea you are suffering, comes from the use of augmentine, as a side effect.
You can stop using augmentine and start another antibiotic that doesn't have this side effect. Bactrim may be effective. Consult your doctor before taking any medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
