hi and pleased to answer you
diarrhea after antibiitics treatment is due to bacteria that was stabilized by other organisms that have been killed by antibiotics.
to treat this kind of diarrhea we need a bacterial stool analysis to find the best antibiotics to erradicate rhe suspected bacteria. and we add some others medicine containing probiotics (Probiotics are bacteria that line your digestive tract and support your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and fight infection, and those organism have been killed by the first aniobiotics that your husband have been taken).
exemple of probiotics : enterogermina.
best wishes.
