How Can lower Abdominal Pain Along With Bloating be Treated?
Hi I recently went to the doctor and got prescribed antibiotics for an infection in my upper respiratory because of a cough, a couple of weeks after I have developed drastic changes in bowel movements I have constant urges to use the bathroom and pain in lower stomach and bloating and when I use the bathroom about 3 to 5 times a day it is not very much and feels as if if not everything came out. I have never experienced this before and have always been able to have normal bowel movements before
Antibiotics may alter your intestinal flora by eliminating your beneficial microorganisms. You may benefit from yoghurt, kefir or probiotics for replenising your healthy flora. Also, I suggest consuming plenty of water.
If your complaints progress, or convert into diarrea, you must see your doctor for ceasing/changing antibiotics.
May you recover soon
