A member asked:
Is it to be expected for diarrhea (as a side effect of antibiotics) to continue after finishing all the med (took last dose 4 days ago)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sometimes the gut flora takes some time to get back on track. Probiotic pills or foods such as yogurt can help restore the flora. If you have watery diarrhea multiple times a day, see your doctor because you could have an infection as a result of the antibiotics.
