Having Stomach Flu, Abdominal Pain. On Antibiotics. Severe Bloating On The Body. How Long Will It Take To Recover?
Hi- I was in the hospital for 4 days due to a stomach flu and abdominal pain . During that time, I was constantly hooked up to a saline IV as well as CIPRO antibiotics . By the second day, I had started to bloat with all of the fluid. I was released from the hospital yesterday, and would like to know how long it should take for all of this fluid to go back down, and what I should be doing to help it flush out of my system.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Ciprofloxacin is usually given for enteric fever or typhoid. It is one of the best medications for the illness. Please complete the course given to you. Same time you must take plenty of fluids and healthy home food. You should be feeling alright in two weeks. Should you have recurrent symptoms, please contact your doctor. It may take two months for complete recovery from the illness.
hope this helps
