antibiotics can cause diarrhea

After Ayne got hospitalized my worries haven't come to an end. He had diarrhea after wards, I just observed him at first but then it lasted 3 days, and he would make popo 3-4 times a day. It got me so worried that I sent him back to his doctor. And I've learned why, it's because of the antibiotics he had taken while he was in the hospital. So it was something unavoidable, I was so worried what caused his diarrhea. And now I want to share this information with all the mommies out there.

Why do antibiotics cause diarrhea?

The answer is simple. Your doctor prescribes antibiotics to kill off bad bacteria. There is both good and bad bacteria in your body. The good bacteria in your digestive system helps the enzymes break down the food and also helps to fight off bad bacteria. The antibiotics do not generally discriminate against which bacteria it fights and kills off. This usually means both good and bad bacteria are eliminated from your body.

How can I protect my child?

This is a simple answer as well but often times overlooked. When your child is prescribed an antibiotic ask your doctor to prescribe a probiotic as well. Make sure your child takes this while taking the antibiotic and a week after he/she finishes taking the antibiotic. The probiotic will help to replenish the good bacteria your child’s digestive tract has lost during the antibiotics healing process. As always anytime a side effect occurs from medication the prescribing doctor should be notified. He/she may have some alternatives as well to help aid in the healing process.

Another good tip is to have your child eat yogurt with live cultures to help replace the good bacteria usually known as lactobacillus, which can also be found in acidolphilus milk.

Can you prevent Diarrhea from Antibiotics?

The simple answer is no. Most of the time diarrhea is caused because the antibiotics are doing the job they are supposed to do. On rare occasions you might be able to avoid taking a general antibiotic and wait for the test results to come back telling the doctor a specific antibiotic that will most likely take care of the bad bacteria, but even then, the antibiotic might not work and may still kill off the good bacteria. The best form of prevention is to catch the symptoms as quickly as possible, notify the doctor and start treating the symptoms.

the worst political violence seen in the country in recent history

This is why I hate politics so much. Sana ma kamit nila ang hustisya.

Dozens of gunmen abducted the group of journalists, supporters and relatives of a gubernatorial candidate as they traveled through Amputuan township Monday to file candidacy documents in the provincial capital for May 2010 elections.

The gubernatorial candidate, Ismael Mangudadatu, who was not a part of the convoy, accused a powerful political rival from the Amputuan clan of being behind the slayings. There is a longstanding bitterness between the two families.

Mangudadatu's wife, Genalyn, and his two sisters, were among the dead.

The bodies found in the grave, about six feet (two meters) deep, were dumped on top of one another. They included a pregnant woman. Grieving relatives helped identify their loved ones before they were given the bodies, covered by banana leaves, for burial.

The Philippine president placed two southern provinces under emergency rule Tuesday as security forces unearthed more bodies, pushing the death toll to 46 in some of the deadliest election violence in the nation's history.

Police and soldiers found 22 bodies in a hillside mass grave Tuesday, adding to the 24 bullet-riddled bodies recovered near the scene of Monday's massacre in Maguindanao province, said Chief Superintendent Josefino Cataluna of the Central Mindanao region.

This southern region of the Philippines is wracked by violent political rivalries, in addition to a long-running Islamic insurgency, but the killings have shocked this Southeast Asian nation. One adviser to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has described the massacre as the worst in the country's recent history. A media rights watchdog also says that it appears to be the world's worst mass killing of journalists, with as many as 20 reportedly among the dead.
