Cefpodoxime - #17782
Last week, I developed a throat infection with fever and swollen lymph nodes. My doctor prescribed an antibiotic called Cefpodoxime, saying it would help fight the bacterial infection. I usually try to avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary, but since my symptoms were severe, I decided to take it. After a few days, my infection improved, but I also started experiencing stomach discomfort, nausea, and mild diarrhea. I looked it up and found that Cefpodoxime can cause digestive issues by disturbing gut bacteria. Now, I’m worried about the side effects of Cefpodoxime and whether my gut health has been affected. I have also read that long-term or frequent antibiotic use can weaken the immune system. I don’t want to keep taking antibiotics every time I get an infection, so I’m looking for Ayurvedic ways to strengthen my immunity and heal my gut naturally after taking Cefpodoxime. Doctor, are there Ayurvedic herbs or probiotics that can restore gut health after taking Cefpodoxime? Also, does Ayurveda have any natural alternatives to antibiotics for mild infections? I want to know how I can prevent frequent infections without relying on antibiotics. Additionally, are there Ayurvedic detox methods that can help remove any side effects caused by Cefpodoxime? Please guide me on how to maintain a strong immune system and a healthy gut after antibiotic use.
