41, had c diff after a z pack. terrified what i will do if i need antibio again. i tend to get ear & sinus infections. are antibios ok in the future?

Abx OK.: You may not have C diff again with repeat antibiotics. BUT you should only be given antibiotics for proven infections. Anyone who gets recurrent ear and sinus infections requiring antibiotics should be evaluated by an ENT or Infectious Disease doc to prevent unnecessary treatment.
