7 days of puss/ mucus in loose stools. cramping is present along with lower back pain. would augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) help?5

I would not use any : Antibiotics without having this medically evaluated. This warrants prompt medical evaluation. Take care.

Probably not: You could have an enteric infection or colitis. You need stool culture, c.Difficile toxin test for starters and may need to see a gastroenterologist and get a colonoscopy. Shotgun empiric therapy is a bad idea.
