Discuss with doctor: First, this could well be a reaction to the antibiotic, and it needs to be changed. Why are u on the antibiotic in the first place? In addition, there is a condition of a bacteria that multiplies as a result of antibiotics, clostridium difficile, and this has to be ruled out as a source of the problem.
