Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I suggest you streptococcus group B is the bacteria which is causing many infections to us. It is many a time causes a multi resistance to many of the antibiotics. But to undergo treatment for such a bug is necessary. I advice you to go for higher antibiotic class. For diarrhea I advice you to go lactic acid bacilli supplement will be good.
If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
