Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
IT would a be wonder for you to know that these are the best antibiotics for loose motions also. Please stop enteroquinol, this is a banned drug in many countries.
So the loose motions could have been started due to disturbance of the intestinal flora. You can start the probiotic like Darolac or pre-pro and your problem may be solved.
The pain is again because of the same reason and take anti-spasmodic medicines like meftal spas or clomin to get a relief.
Please request your Doctor to change over to another antibiotic.
IF the problem persists , it is likely that there is an intestinal infection which is not amenable to ciprofloxacin so another antibiotic like cefixime which helps for dental as well as intestinal problems.
