Patient's question:
The stomach has been hurting intermittently, and the stool is green and pasty. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: After taking two days of cefixime, the stomach still hurts a bit. What kind of help is desired: Is it diarrhea? Test results, detailed examination results.Doctor's answer:
If you have dysentery, you usually experience nausea and vomiting, fever, and the most typical symptom is tenesmus. Next is the presence of mucopurulent bloody stools. However, diagnosis often requires careful laboratory tests. Treatment typically involves a combination of penicillin-class and sulfonamide drugs, which are quite effective. However, a light diet is recommended. Regarding cephalosporins, some people may experience severe gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting, so it is better to avoid them if possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
