Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, the headache with diarrhea can be due to electrolytes loss with loose motions however endocrine abnormalities may cause both simultaneously however for the time being the drug which caused diarrhea should be stopped and the drug needs to be discussed with your primary care physician as you didn't mention the name here. Meanwhile keep good hydration and salts replacement with oral rehydration salts intake. Probiotics may also be helpful. Antibiotics decision should be made after stool analysis and baseline blood counts as well as serum electrolytes. Take soft diets.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
