Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat And Diarrhea While On Antibiotics For UTI

I recently received antibiotics for a uti and my doctor told me to come back immediately if I had fever, nausea, etc. I do not have a fever, however I have a bad sore throat and diarhhea, both of which are listed as possible serious side effects of the medicine. However, I recently started a job working with children and its very possible I might just be getting a cold or done other virus. Does this sound like side effects of the medicine (in which case I need to go back to the doctor) or just a coincidental virus?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Following remedies may be done for sore throat & diarrhea
1. You can take probiotic & prebiotic drinks. These are helpful in diarrhea caused by antibiotics.
2. Salt Water Gargle- Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen/acetaminophen it will reduce pain & swelling.
4. Sucking of cough drop can increase saliva production & thus moistening throat
5.Drink plenty of water & Take rest.

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps.
