Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Diarrhea, Headaches And Metallic Taste In Mouth

I have been on the generic for Flagyl for 5 days 500mg 3 times a day for 14 days. I was dianosed with a stomach bacteria. The last two days I have been having nausea, diarrhea, headache, body aches, and a metallic taste in my mouth. I have no desire to eat. I take it with food and have had no alcohol. Is there an alternative antibiotic I can take tnat does not have these or as many sidebbrffects.

Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As per your complain you have problem of diarrhoea and abdominal symptoms because of bacterial growth.
Continue with antibiotics course.
Some antibiotics side effect is metallic taste..
Drink more water.
Probiotic help to alter a taste.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
