A doctor has provided 1 answer

C diff : Based on best evidence the dosing for c diff if your pretty symptomatic should be every six to eight hours. Also you should be taking probiotics about three times a day, again good evidence supports this. Usually it takes 5-7 days for symptoms to subside with adequate treatment. How ever can last up to 2 weeks. If not improved or getting worse see your doctor again to go over treatment options
