Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Diarrhea is a common side effect of Augmenting. So I would first think of diarrhea due to the antibiotic.2. It usually subsides by itself after discontinuation of the antibiotic, so usually it is not a serious thing.3. Please give your daughter plenty of oral fluids including ORS, coconut water, buttermilk, rice water, etc. This will prevent deny Chat Doctor. 4. I usually prescribe my such patients probiotics for 5-7 days which may improve antibiotic relater diarrhea.5. Please do not discontinue Augmenting by yourself for the fear of diarrhea. Please consult your doctor to report the side effect. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your daughter the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
