Are Acute Diarrhea And Weight Loss Symptoms Of Giardia?
I have had symtoms of acute diarrhoea and weght loss of 9 lbs over a period of nearly 3 weeks. I have been staying with my son-in-law who was diagnosed with giardia after a stay in New Zealand. My daughter is also showing symtoms. Analysis of my stool sample shows nothing. Should I still take anti-biotics as suggested by my local nurse?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your stool sample is negative for parasites and you have completed the course of antibiotics then no need to take antibiotic now. Take proper fluid diet. No need to worry. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
