Hi. I think you are suffering for Clostridium difficile infection. It is acquired by taking empiric antibiotics and occurs in people admitted in hospitals.
I would recommend you get a stool routine examination test done and stop all the antibiotics. Start with Tablet Flagyl 400mg 3 times daily for 5 -7 days . Drink plenty of fluids. Your diarrhea will resolve in 2-3 days
