thanks for sending the question.

It sounds like you have intolerance to the antibiotic. There are many different types of antibiotics which can be used for pneumonia.

I would encourage you to call your doctor and obtain an alternative antibiotic which you might be able to tolerate without diarrhea.

Sincerely,
