Should I Use Antibiotics For Diarrhea?
My 2 year son got diarrea after taking antibiotics. he was diagnosed with C.Difficile colitis. After taking Flagyl for 10 days and VSL #3 probiotics after it the diarrea has gone.But tests still shoows A. and B. toxins.( after a month after the Flagyl) Our doctor wants to prescribe another course of antibiotics. But we don't have a diarrea,rather constipation.I affraid another roud of antibiotics would make things only worse.I need a second opinion-do we really need to use another antibiotics?"

thanx for the query. you have already given antibiotics for quite a long , as mentioned your child now does not have any symptoms and is well now you can stop the antibiotiocs and there is no need for further giving any antibiotics, but you can give some probiotic to your baby.and give a diet which is high in fiber like daliya, oats , fruits and vegetables
