Diarrhea Caused by Antibiotics
Alternate Names : Antibiotic-Associated Colitis
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
The symptoms depend partly on the cause. Most cases are due to irritation of
the bowel by the antibiotic. In these cases, symptoms may include:
abdominal distress or cramping
nausea and vomiting
Mild cases of diarrhea from a bacterial infection may cause the same symptoms.
Severe infections may cause:
blood in the stool,
which is not usually seen in diarrhea from irritation
fever
tenderness when the abdomen is touched
