Frequent antibiotic use can disturb gut flora and cause altered bowel habits. Antibiotics should never be taken just to “kill bad bacteria” without a confirmed infection, as this can worsen the imbalance and increase resistance
Next Steps
For restoring gut health, probiotics and prebiotics are more useful than unnecessary antibiotics. You can take curd, buttermilk, fermented foods, or probiotic capsules (available over the counter) for a few weeks. Adequate hydration, high fiber diet, and stress control are also important. Since you are on medicines like Nexito and pregabalin, it is best to review your case in detail before starting supplements. You can consult me on Practo for a personalized plan
Health Tips
Avoid self starting antibiotics. If bowel frequency or recurrent infections persist, stool tests and further evaluation by a physician or gastroenterologist may be required.
