Stomach pain!? Loose motions!
I had adult chickenpox. Was put on valacyclovir 1g 3x a day, with ppi in the morning.(6-13th april)
After the course of valacyclovir, next 5 day(13th to 17th april) i was put on cefuroxime clauvalunate 2x a day.
Now after 3-4 days of antibiotics, i started having loose motions. Not multiple times but the morning stool wouldd be loose and smelly. And i have stomach pain(just under my ribs) and it feels like gastritis but its not going away. and epigastric region feels like it's gassy. And i lost around 500g weight too.
Is this gastritis or ulcer symptoms?
Should I get kft lft and cbc done, as i am scared thst eating so many medicines have done something bad with my kidney or liver? I am scared :(. Please help me.

First of all don’t worry.
As per the history given it could be antibiotic associated diarrhoea and it is common after taking antibiotic course
Antibiotics and antiviral drugs can cause gastritis.
Since you took these medicines for few days it’s more likely that you have gastritis rather than ulcers.
But need further evaluation to provide proscription.
Next Steps
Need evaluation by health care professional.
