Mucus in stool
Ok Dr Saurabh sir, thanks for replying me but sir how to know whether the gut Flora is altered I have loose stool and little mucus after antibiotic
Medicine are ampoxin 250 mg and combiflam
Ampoxin has ampicillin and cloxacillin
The ampicillin component is known to alter the bowel flora
So yes the symptoms that you are having might be a result of altered bowel flora due to antibiotics
No need to worry as the symptoms will subside with cessation of antibiotics
Next Steps
add curd/probiotics to your diet. it is rich in lactobacillus and will help replenish the bowel flora
Health Tips
if you start having fever, blood in stools, pain in abdomen the consult a surgeon asap
otherwise no need to worry about it
