A member asked:

8 week course of ceftrioxone, now halfway through 30 day course of cephalexin 500mg 3xday. developed diarrhea 5days ago, has now become clear watery and mostly flatus.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation: If you develop copious diarrhea like this after prolonged antibiotics, the prescribing doctor needs to know. There are certain types of diarrhea that can be bad-primarily I'm talking about C. diff. This form of diarrhea can worsen, and there can be consequences like kidney damage, dehydration, low blood pressure/passing out etc. Not to mention malabsorption/loss of nutrients. Hope you call TODAY.
