Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
What you mention is called antibiotic associated diarrhea. All you have to do is to take ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the lost water and salts, and plenty of curd or yogurt since it contains plenty of beneficial bacteria which should help. You can also take probiotics like Econorm XXXXXXX twice daily for 3-5 days. You should not stop the antibiotics midway and should complete the course.
