Antibiotics get rid of bacteria causing infection but also the normal bacteria in the intestines. The loss of this bacteria results in diarrhea. You can ask your pharmacist to recommend a probiotic which will replace the gut bacteria and decrease the diarrhea. If this doesn’t help, especially after the antibiotic course is done, then see your doctor. Best of luck to you!!
