Your high blood sugar readings are actually being driven up by the active infection itself. Please do not self-adjust your Cetapin (metformin) or start new medications without medical supervision. I highly recommend contacting your prescribing doctor immediately to safely adjust your diabetes treatment to bring your levels down. Meanwhile, please continue taking your Enzoflam, Metrogyl, and Polyclav exactly as prescribed; clearing this dental infection is a key step to helping your blood sugar levels return to a safe range.

Yes, taking Norflox-TZ and Metrogyl-400 a month ago could certainly be the cause. These strong medications can disrupt the healthy bacteria in your gut, leading to ongoing loose stools, urgency, and mild pain. Since you have lived with diabetes for over ten years, your digestive tract may also be more sensitive to these changes. I highly recommend speaking with your doctor to evaluate your gut flora and rule out any specific post-antibiotic issues. In the meantime, staying well-hydrated is very important.

The medications you were prescribed?Rantac (ranitidine), Metrogyl (metronidazole), Spasmodart, and Looz syrup (lactulose)?are typically used to treat digestive or pelvic issues like infections, spasms, and constipation. Your doctor likely focused on treating an underlying abdominal issue, which can sometimes cause referred pain in nearby areas. While the pain-relieving component in Spasmodart might temporarily ease general discomfort, these medications do not directly treat penile pain. Please contact your doctor to share this specific symptom so they can safely evaluate it and ensure you get the right targeted care.

For bleeding gums, Hexigel (chlorhexidine gluconate) is typically the most effective choice to target plaque and reduce bleeding. Metrogyl (metronidazole) is an antibacterial gel used if there is an active infection, while Hiora gel is a soothing herbal option for inflammation. I recommend using Hexigel twice daily after brushing. However, it is very important to see your dentist, as bleeding gums often require a professional cleaning to heal completely.

I understand how frustrating it is to deal with these persistent symptoms, especially after taking medications like Norflox TZ, Metrogyl, and Rifaximin. Your symptoms of gurgling, a warm sensation, and altered stools could indeed point toward Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or gut flora imbalance caused by the antibiotics. At 22, invasive camera tests like an endoscopy or colonoscopy are often not the first step unless you have 'red flag' symptoms like weight loss or bleeding. Instead, doctors usually start with simple stool tests, probiotics to restore your gut, and dietary tweaks.

It is actually quite common for watery, foul-smelling diarrhea to recur after a course of Metrogyl (metronidazole). This can happen if the initial infection was not completely cleared, if he was quickly reinfected from his environment, or if his gut has developed a temporary sensitivity to lactose after being sick. Please consult his pediatrician to have his stool re-evaluated. In the meantime, keep him well-hydrated with oral rehydration solutions and offer simple, bland foods.
