Hi..
Thanks for the query.

Many a times taking antibiotics can cause stomach upset and hyperacidity leading to symptoms like stomach ache, heartburn and diarrhoea..

So it is advisable to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated.

In case if it is due to antibiotics then dose can be reduced if possible and along with it medication like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole can be advised along with antacids and plenty of probiotics like Yogurt and garlic..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
