Any medicines using?

Thanks

Looks like your diarrhoea started after taking antibiotics

which antibiotics are you taking???

Without the requested information, I can only give you a fairly general answer. I hope it is helpful.

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is likely to begin about a 5-7 days after you start taking an antibiotic. Sometimes, however, diarrhea and other symptoms don't appear until days or even weeks after you've finished antibiotic treatment and sometimes little earlier

in your case it could be a possibility that you might have developed after food poisoning and then aggravated by antibiotics

and leg and arm pains could be related to dehydration and loss of salts with diarrhoea

You can usually treat yourself at home. The most important thing is to have lots of fluids to avoid dehydration.

1. Stay at home and get plenty of rest
2. Drink lots of fluids, such as water or squash – take small sips if you feel sick
3. Eat when you feel able to – you do not need to eat or avoid any specific foods
4. Take paracetamol if you're in discomfort
5. Can use Dioralyte (Your pharmacist can recommend oral rehydration sachets. These are powders that you mix with water and then drink).
6. Please do not have fruit juice or fizzy drinks – they can make diarrhoea worse

yes amoxiclav can cause diarrhoea as a side effect

I would suggest stop the medicine or if completed the course then follow the above given general advice

You only need to see doctor or go to A&E (local hospital emergency) quickly if:

· You still have signs of dehydration after using oral rehydration sachets

· You keep being sick and cannot keep fluid down

· You have bloody diarrhoea or bleeding from the bottom

· You have diarrhoea for more than 7 days or vomiting for more than 2 days
