Noticed White Discharge In My Stool. Is It Due To Medicines I Am Taking?
i was diagnosed with strep throat yesterday. i was running temps of 103, infection in ears and throat. also heartburn and quizy stomach. Went to see the doc yesterday and was givin a steroid shot, some anti-biotics, and some kinda syrup. but anyways, fever has broken but I noticed this morning some clear white looking discharge in my stool. Could this be in relation to the medicines or could this be something else.

Probably it might have to do with it. See for if it happens again. Then you can see a doc
I don't think even a single shot of steroids was required until there was definite indication of severe throat inflammation leading to respiratory pathway compromise. Anyway none of the medicines you told are related to your nonspecific problem of clear white discharge in stools. You have to mention your age also.

welcome to healthcaremagic
as you were having quizy stomach along with sore throat may be some intestinal problem may be associated
some antibiotics affects intestinal flora and may cause loose motion along with mucous
a stool examination will help
along with antibiotics medicines like vibact ds may be taken once daily
