Brief Answer:
yes, probiotics and enzymes are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would suggest that you should take probiotics and enzymes along with the antibiotic. Antibiotics usually disturb the normal flora of useful bacteria present in the intestines which help in the process of digestion and absorption. Probiotics supplement the lost useful bacteria. Enzymes help in easy digestion.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
