Do Antibiotics Cause Severe Diarrhea?
Hi. My grandmother is addicted to Grandpa Headache powders for years now and she sometimes finishes a box of 38 within a week and she is experiencing serious serious diarrhea, it is so extreme that the ambulance had to take her to hospital now. What could be the cause? She was on strong antibiotics for the last few days since she has been going to the doctor every week, because nothing seems to help.

Hello,
The diarrhea can be caused by antibiotic usage but she may need also to do stool test to check for gastrointestinal infections.
