What have you had antibiotics for recently?

On my second course of antibiotics in a couple of months, feeling a bit rubbish and sorry for myself. Has anyone else had to have antibiotics recently? Have they worked?!

Did either of you feel rough on the ABs? Someone said it’s best to take them with yoghurt? Feeling down in the dumps - second lot of tonsilitis in two months

I did. I had diarrhoea throughout taking them, to the point I only just made the loo on occasions. They also made me feel sick and a bit low. But they worked so it was worth it. I took probiotics with them too, but I’m not sure if they made any difference.

Tonsilitis sucks. I used to get it a lot in my 20s for some reason and had to have relatively regular abs. Then it just stopped really and I haven’t needed any since until recently.

I had some for a sinus infection after suffering for 13 days. It was penicillin and it worked a treat!! My nose was nearly clear within 24 hours!

Took four lots to get rid of a UTI, the third lot sent me a bit loopy 🤣
