Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend was diagnosed with diphtheria at the hospital a few months ago and then went to the hospital to receive antibiotics. But my friend has a sensitive body and had some reactions after taking them. I want to ask the doctor about the side effects of antibiotics for diphtheria?Doctor's answer:
Some patients may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, rash, hives, redness, itching, and thrombocytopenia again while taking antibiotics. Generally, these symptoms will not affect normal life and there is no need to be overly anxious. The symptoms can be effectively relieved after stopping the medication. If the adverse reactions persist and worsen continuously, intervention under the guidance of a doctor is necessary. In case of necessity, the type and dosage of the medication may need to be adjusted.
