What Causes Frequent Diarrhea While On Mupirocin Post Sinus Surgery?
I had sinus surgery a month ago and had to do a nasal rinse with Mupirocin30MG/BUDEO.6/10ML three times daily for about 2 weeks then twice a day for about 2 weeks. There was no paper work about possible side affects. I have been having frequent diarrhea the whole month. IS it possible that some of this got in my saliva or down the back of my throat and is causing this?
