Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it can go away.

C.difficile is infection caused by the clostridium bacteria present in the system. It occurs because of the prolong antibiotic therapy.

Clarithromycin antibiotics should be taken under your doctors guidance to clear the infection.

All other symptoms like fatigue, headache etc are because of the diarrhea caused by this infection.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is helpful to cure infection. Good handwashing is also a good tool to combat the infection.

Please eat probiotics, lactobacillus can help replenish the normal gut flora that has washed out because of the prolong antibiotic therapy and can help recover the infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
