Question : I just finished taking Vancomycin Hydocholide for C. Diff Colotis. Stool is no longer runny. How do I know if I am cured?

Brief Answer:
By stool test.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The doctor would prescribe you a test called stool routine and microscopy.

Your stools would be examined under a microscope if there is no bacterium in stools you are cured.

Hope I have answered your query.

Dr. Ramesh Kumar, Gastroenterologist
