I'm currently taking an antibiotic called Mevac after dinner following a full health check. I've been experiencing some digestive issues, like having loose motions once a day for about 50 days now. I'm wondering if starting homeopathy might help with this. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

I'm having a really difficult time since I've noticed that I can only get one finger in my mouth, and it's become uncomfortable to eat anything spicy or drink hot milk. It's been a month since I stopped using pan masala, so I'm wondering if there's a connection or if there's anything I can do to solve this problem. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
