<human>: hi , i am suffering from loose motions with pain in the middle of my stomach. i also have been thro some throat infection 10 days ago for which my docto gave me Erythromycin 500 mg once a day for 3 days after which i got down with this stomach problem
<bot>: Usually stomach ache along with the loose motions suggest stomach infection, but as far as your history is concerned the symptoms narrated by you most likely suggest acidity & the stomach upset caused due to erythromycin because of altered abdominal flora. What u will have to do is increase your water intake, in the foods containing lactic acid such as the buttermilk of curd & have one of the antacid such as omeprazole 20 mg twice a day about 15 minutes before food & capsules containing the bacilli. This treatment surely will take care of your loose motions as well as stomach ache.
