Norovirus and antibiotics

[girlmom21]

Hi all,

I don't know if this is a stupid question but I have an ear infection and have been prescribed antibiotics.

However today I've come down with (presumably) Norovirus.

Am I right in thinking that I should hold off of the antibiotics until the D&V stops?
Ive only taken one so it's not a massive issue, but I'd rather get the infection cleared up sooner rather than later and don't want to risk the antibiotics not working because they're not staying in my system long enough.

Thanks!

Could it be a side effect of the antibiotics?

That was my other thought to be honest.

Call 111 or your pharmacy and ask. The answer depends on which antibiotic you're taking.

Also get well soon!
