Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
85 year old man being treated for diabetic foot ulcer(healing) with co-amoxiclav 125 tds suffered diahorrea When starting medication 10 days ago,now extreme tiredness and complete loss of appetite. Will take plenty of sugar free fluids but no solid food.
Hello, i have studied your case and I think that Amoxiclav is causing diarrhoea in you. I would recommend following treatment for you. 1.You need IV fluid to treat weakness as there is fluid deficiency after loose motions. 2.Take ORS poder. 3.Tablet B complex two tablet daily will take care of antibiotic mediated diarrhoea. I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
