Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Viral Fever While On Azithromycin
Last year I had viral fever and was prescribed Ajax 500, dingle dose a day for 3 days. After taking this medicine I started getting loose bowel movements 5-6 times a day. Fever was gone on completion of dosage. Later after few weeks I realized that I was lactose intolerant and every time I had any milk product I had loose motions. FYI I was never lactose intolerant. So I stopped having milk products and started taking probiotics to help improve digestion. After months lactose intolerance problem was gone automatically. This year I had similar fever and because Ajax 500 worked last time, I was again prescribed the same meds. Now the loose motions are worse. No matter what I eat after sometime I tend to hav loose motions. Any help to fix the problem?

Hello, Diarrhoea is a common side effect of the antibiotics. I recommend using over the counter option for diarrhea such as Imodium. I also recommend using daily probiotics. I suggest you drink a lot of liquids. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
