Not C Diff Just an adverse effect of cefuroxime

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Its not clostridium difficile. Its just a diarrhea which is a common adverse effect of this antibiotic. Just stop the antibiotic and replace it with less bothering one. Eat BRAT diet till then and keep hydrating. There you go. No worries.

I hope it helps Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
