What Is The Treatment For Clostridium Difficile?

My son has c diff after rx from erythromycin for Pneumonia. He is a nurse at a cancer hospital. He had severe bloody diarrhea and stomach pain. Is now on Flagy x 2 days. He called last night with blood in his urine and today the urine is very dark. Can this be from dehydration or some other cause. Should he seek additional medical care.
