Re: Rocephin,UTI Nystatin Thrush - one added thought

[Guest guest]

I forgot to mention one thing...doctors are concerned about the overuse of

antibiotics for several reasons. The first is the issue of the bacteria

becoming stronger and having the antibiotics not be effective against them. The

second is the issue of c-diff. Mom never had that problem but I know it's out

there and poses a concern. If the doctor is reluctant to do more than 3 days,

it may well be one of those reasons.

I am worried now with her only getting 3 & it should be more. I will talk to

the nurse tomorrow.

He said he thought 3 shots would be enough. I hope the shots don't cause

anything further, she hasn't had any antibiotics in 3 years. I didn't know what

c-diff was til I read your post, always something to worry about.

She didn't drink or eating anything for breakfast. Hospice was confused & said

they wouldn't be here til tomorrow with the shot, and I of course got really

upset so now they are coming today, as they were supposed too. The Dr. ordered

for her to have a shot starting today.

My aunt acts like she wants something to drink, but she doesn't get the juice up

in the straw far enough. I have been giving her 100cc with the syringe, I got a

bigger one.
