What Does Abdominal Cramps After Taking Antibiotics Indicate?

you'd better be checked by your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
although abnormal bowel movements may follow antibiotic exposure - and they usually normalize after withdrawing the antibiotic - I would suggest visiting your doctor for assessment for the following reasons:
- antibiotic related diarrhea may indeed cause movements with blood and mucus but diarrhea is expected, which seems to be different than your current situation
- blood and mucus may also be caused by other conditions like tumors.
I believe that the antibiotic is the cause of your symptoms but I can't be certain. Data from the clinical examination and history may help to distinguish the cause.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
