A member asked:
My bowel movement is messed up after the course of antibiotics. it's ok for 3-4 days and then i have loose stools for 1-2 days. how long can this last?

Get a stool test: Diarrhea after antibiotics isn't uncommon. Often, a probiotic or even just yogurt can help replenish the good bacteria in your gut. However, there is also a serious infection of the colon caused by antibiotics that can cause diarrhea. If your symptoms continue, you need a stool test to rule this out.
