General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms might be a side effect of the antibiotics flucloxacillin you are taking. Most common side effect is:
- Diarrhoea (blood or mucus) with cramps (abdominal / muscle), pale stools and dark urine
- Yellow discoloration of eyes and skin
- Bruising or discoloured skin
- Joint or muscle pain etc.

I advise you to:
- Discontinue the medication as you have almost completed the course of treatment
- Take probiotics + a course of antibiotics to restore the gut healthy microbial flora
- Also, good fibers and less spicy, oily food

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
