Hi,
what are the side effects your father is complaining of? there are some definite side effects of radiation which is not related to the drugs like dry mouth, loss of taste sensation. swelling in local region. He has got a lung infection and for this reason he has been prescribed with respiratory antibiotics. probable side effects will be loose stool. for this reason he has been given probiotics like vizylac. Two times a day dosing will be adequate. no need to worry. take care.
