Bad tummy from antibiotics

2 replies

Hi all,
I'm on day 3 of antibiotics for a sinus infection. The sinus infection is beginning to feel better (much to my relief, as I'd had it for over 2 weeks before seeing a GP!). However, today I have a really bad tummy, which I'm assuming is from the antibiotics. I feel really exhausted from it and very low on energy. I'm taking diarolyte, but I still have 4 days of antibiotics to go. I have a 14 month old to look after, I work (not there today unsurprisingly!) and it's my birthday at the weekend! I know you shouldn't stop a course of antibiotics, so I'm still taking them, but has anyone had this before, and if so, do you just wait it out? I don't take antibiotics often, but when I do I don't react like this! Thank you.

I was recommended pro biotic yogurt drinks when I was on some strong antibiotics.
Fermented drinks like kefir are also very good for your digestion.
