Should i be worried about a tertiary c. difficile infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

C. diff is bad news: I would always be wary of C. diff - and if you have to take antibiotics, try to make sure you get the best treatment. Many times, antibiotics are unnecessary. You might want to ask for help from an ID doctor who is expert in this, and expert in C. diff. That is not a nice disease, and can mean damage to the colon or worse. If you've had C. diff before, the risks are increased. Talk to doc today.
