You should contact your doctor who will assess the severity of your symptoms and order tests. Pseudomembranous enteritis is likely to occur, which is caused by an imbalance in the bacterial flora and the effects of toxins that overgrow Clostridium difficile under such conditions. Depending on the clinical condition, it may be necessary to perform a morphology, ionogram, stool examination, and colonoscopy.
During antibiotic therapy, it is very important to support the work of the digestive and digestive systems through appropriate covers in the form of a probiotic. Try, for example, Lactobacillus Max SOLHERBS. If you want to assess the health of the gut microbiome, you can now order a mail-order gut microbiome test via Medonet Market.
