General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be due to bowel irritation.

As of now drink plenty of water and you can take antimotility drugs like Racecadotril for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

In that case, you might require antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
