Is It Due To Infection There Is Shrinkage Of Body After Having A Swelling?

I discovered that my colon was full of stool and gas, experienced major abdominal pains, my body was swollen, my skin was red and thick, my elbows, underarm, and bikini line was black, my shoulders are bigger, there was an entire week where walking became difficult and I had lack of energy and difficulty focusing or processing any information. My ankles were swollen. I then received enema in the hospital and was then able to walk again. Everytime I get rid of waste, I have more energy and balance each time, and I feel better and am able to think more clearly. I have taken amoxycylin and the swollenness has gone done, the redness from my skin has begun to fade, and my body is shrinking. Does this mean that there is an infection inside my body?

Hello. Amoxycillin is not given usually for gastrointestinal infections except for helicobactor pylori. For Helicobactor amoxicillin is given together with clarythromycin + antacid drugs. What you explained earlier are symptoms some what similar to helocobactor pylori infection( not all of it) .So that may be why you had some what relief after amxycollin course. Still you better meet your family doctor investigate your symptoms.
