Hello, My daughter is taking Flagyl for a persistant urinary tract infection. She is nearly at the end of the dose but is feeling quite unwell with symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and pain around the liver. She has about 3 tablets left.... should she stop taking them ?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, bloating and pain around the liver while on Flagyl for UTI . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many other reasons like electrolyte imbalance, acute gastritis, viral infection or due to food intolerance. Sometimes when we take antibiotics as you are taking for UTI , it destroy normal flora of stomach and cause such symptoms . For this eat lot of probiotics food . If condition doesn't get better consult concerned doctor . You should do tepid sponging if fever levels are high. Avoid intake of outside food. Doctor will take history and order stool test. Doctor may prescribe antiviral drug like acyclovir for at least 5 days along with anti inflammatory and antipyretic medications. You should avoid intake of outside food. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
