Took z-pack, medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pk for 1 week for ear infection. now have worst smelling gas ever, watery d for 24 hrs. am able to eat, drink. is this cdiff?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Not all smelly diarrhea after antibiotics is C-diff. Generally it's self-limited. Do get with your physician if this is obviously serious illness.
