Call covering doc: Having a C diff history increases your risk of a recurrent C diff infection. If you are on Ceftin (cefuroxime) and experiencing similar C diff diarrhea symptoms, call the doctor who covering for your doctor who is away, so they can get the details of your case and determine if C diff testing needs to be done, with C diff therapy done concurrently.
