What Causes Chills And Body Ache After Suffering From Bladder Infection?

I had a bladder infection and my Doc prescribed Nitrofurantoin (100mg) twice a day. After a week I had chills, body aches etc in the night and then the diarrhea started. She then prescribed Saccharomyces and Metamucil twice daily. I have had my stool examined and C-Dif has been ruled out, but the lab is still testing it. I feel pretty healthy except for the continuing problem.

Hello,

It is due to urinary tract infection.

Consult a urologist and plan for a urine culture and start antibiotics according to the culture report.

Nothing much to worry and you will improve with proper antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
