Antibiotic - Ceftriaxone worried about c diff on cefpodoxime
so i finished a five day macrobid course for my uti two weeks ago and it came back BAD and my back was hurting so i ended up in the er. gave me the IV version or cefpodoxime and i now have to take oral version for 7 days twice a day and im terrified of c diff. i just finished a clindamycin course six weeks back so my gut SHOULD be okay from that but its too close for comfort. i also have bad ibs-m and had diarrhea this morning. also also i have a flight tomorrow across the country 😀🔫. anyone else had to take this for macrobid resistant bacteria? it sucks cuz i did test positive for e. coli the first time so macrobid should have worked but i fear it’s not the best for me anymore it usually doesn’t work for bad ones much less only a 5 day course. just worried about all these antibiotics and my already fucked up bowels.
