Hello lybrate-user. If you are recovering and there is no fever then I believe you do not need antibiotics. Keep your diet light and soft like fruits and curd rice. Avoid spices, milk, milk tea, and chapati. If you wish you can take homeopathic medication podophyllum 200 and aloe 200 four times a day to help control the cramps and motions. For the baby, feed him mashed bananas, pomegranate juice, curd rice and both of you drink electral/enerzal daily. Also drink lots of water to avoid dehydration. Do not give buffalo milk (top feed) to the baby until his stomach is ok, however you can breast feed him.
