A member asked:

C. diff. put on flagyl. temp started 100.5. feel weak. hot. clammy. just a ill feeling. am passing gas. be from medicine or be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be worried: Not likely due to Metronidazole (flagyl). You may have severe c. Diff infection which can be life-threatening and should see an infectious diseases expert asap. Do not delay. Good luck.
