My 15-year-old son has been taking Norflox tablets twice a day for five days to treat an E. coli stomach infection, but he is now experiencing severe stomach pain, frequent diarrhea (4 to 6 times a day), and nausea?what should we do?
The severe stomach pain, frequent diarrhea, and nausea he is experiencing after five days of Norflox (norfloxacin) need to be evaluated by his doctor right away. These symptoms could be a side effect of the antibiotic or a sign of a different infection that can sometimes occur after antibiotic use. Please contact his doctor today for guidance. In the meantime, keep him well-hydrated with water or oral rehydration solutions, and avoid giving him over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medicines without medical advice.
