Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
I've been experiencing diarrhea and abdominal cramping for a little over two weeks now, possibly antibiotic-associated. I took amoxicillin for 10 days (treatment for a sinus infection) and in the evening of the first day of medication, I began experiencing diarrhea and cramping. This began after dinner and I was suspicious that I may have consumed undercooked chicken and gotten salmonella, but the antibiotic seems a more likely suspect. What can I do to put an end to the diarrhea and cramping?
