Will meds help c. diff. or is there a chance that it may not help. what are things to look out for that may lead to severe cases?

Don't worry: Clostridium difficile infection results when that pathogenic bacterium overgrows in your colon. The most common cause is antibiotic administration. It is usually treated with other antibiotics specifically targeted at c. Diff like Metronidazole and vancomycin. The worst complication is called toxic megacolon. Doubt you will get that. Report abdominal pain and fever to your doctors.
