The loose stools you’re experiencing could be due to several reasons, including the after-effects of travel, dietary changes, or an underlying gastrointestinal issue.
Since the symptoms began before starting antibiotics, it’s less likely related to amoxicillin, although antibiotics can sometimes exacerbate existing gut issues.
Next Steps
Loose stools can have multiple causes, especially after travel or dietary changes.
Focus on hydration, probiotics, and a simple diet.
If symptoms persist beyond a week or worsen, Please consult for further evaluation
Health Tips
Rehydrate by drinking ORS
Avoid triggers such as oily, spicy or high fiber food
