Yes: Higher dose of oral vanco 500 mg 4 times per day for 2 weeks then taper slowly over 6 weeks..other option is fodaximycin ( expensive new drug) thee option if those failed and u get another recurrence then stool transplant .. Simple advise to avoid recurrence ; don't take antibiotics for cold or Ito that is not even symptomatic .. I mean take the antibiotics only if really needed
