A member asked:

I was prescribed two weeks of oral terbinafine for a persistent case of ringworm. i finished taking it two weeks ago. i'm still experiencing gas that causes discomfort between stomach/liver until i belch, and mild fever. do i need my liver checked?

Infection: I would definitely have a repeat exam with stool studies if you still have fever, and discomfort.

Wrong question: In the first place "ringworm" is not a medical diagnosis. Terbinafine is very effective for dermatophyte infections. Most diagnoses of "ringworm" are by Drs who are naive about skin conditions, diagnosing fungus when it is actually not. WHAT HAPPENED to your "case of persistent ringworm"? Symptoms now are not related to terbinafine 2 weeks ago. Get diagnosed first, then check gall bladder, etc.
