Antibiotic
Layla N asked:


I'm about halfway through my antibiotic regimen and up until this morning the diarrhea has only been mild-to-moderate. This morning, I've already had three bouts with it and I feel very weak. Is eating rice a good way to offset some of this diarrhea? What else can I do?

And when the antibiotic she prescribed ends up causing more problems (like diarrhea, rash, etc), she'd simply prescribe another antibiotic, and the baby would end up taking a different one every week all year long.
What is it with doctors and antibiotics?
I know they're powerful and may end your misery sooner, but I don't think they're supposed to be the first answer to every symptom.

Bockscar asked:


I'm really sick with Strep Throat and, I've been avoiding the doctor because I am very anti antibiotics but, I think I'm to the point where I have to take antibiotics or else I'm in for a good month of suffering.

Antibiotics have really nasty internal side effects like diarrhea and screwing up the balance of bacteria in your gut. How do I mitigate the negitives dealing with antibiotics?
