Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are going through.

1. You have a personal history of taking antibiotics for cystitis in one week.

2. You have passed yellow mucus and diarrhea for one week.

Taking antibiotics is associated with changes in the normal flora of the intestines. It can be resulted into diarrhea episodes.

I advise to:
- take plenty of water and ORS
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- anti-mycotic medications should be started orally (containing nystatin); however, you need a prescription from your doctor for that

If diarrhea will persist although the right things you are taking, then, I advise to run culture of the stool to rule out other pathological problems.

Wish fast recovery!
