A member asked:
22 year old with severe ibs. im on a 10 day course of omnicef for strep throat. should i be concerned about c diff infection or colitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, that should not: be a concern. You should take a probiotic with the antibiotic if you are not already on one. If you do develop worsening diarrhea, let your doctor know; don't just stop the antibiotic; it is important to treat the strep.
