I started Flagyl 500 mg p.o. 3x/day for C Diff on 10/ 2 after being hospitalized and receiving 5 doses of IV Flagyl. My drug information states I should call my Dr. immediately for a sore throat, which I began experiencing a couple hours ago, about 2.5 hours after my most recent dose of Flagyl. How urgent is it for me to contact my Dr.?

Had surgery for anal fissure 8 weeks ago doesn't seem to be healing. Dr. prescribed Flagyl after 4 week check up for 4 days. Then another check up 4 weeks later and flagyl again for 1 week. Dr. said wound still not healed. Why is it not healing and why Flagyl?
MD Hi..
Poor immunity may be responsible for delayed healing of wound.
Flagyl is given for suspected anaerobic infection.
Thanks.

Hi, I've been going to the gynaecologist for a few weeks now and we still haven't determined what's wrong with me. I've been halving a lot of discharge that is yellowish in color and an unpleasant odor. I have had Pap tests and std tests and I do not have anything wrong there. I have had urine sampled and blood taken and nothing is wrong there. My do to has prescribed me Flagyl but I am hesitant to take it. The other day I missed two birth control pills and find myself experiencing mild to moderate spotting the past two days. Last night I even developed a rash on the side of my face (unsure if this is related). My doctor isn't in tomorrow but I want to know if i should begin the medication now or wait until he is in. I'm so scared I don't know what is wrong with me.

After taking 7 days of Flagyl for a jaw bone infection from a bad tooth, my ears are constantly ringing 24/7. This began the day I started the Flagyl. I stopped taking it 8 days ago and the ringing is still constant. will this go away? Also sometimes feel my ears are clogged off and on.
MD Hi,
From history it seems that your this problem might not be due to Flagyl but due to having some infection in your ear like impacted wax or some middle ear infection.
Consult ENT surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
I have just concluded 10 days of Flagyl due to diagnosed Divurticulitis. I am 62 years old. While on the drug I developed diarhea. However, I have now been off the drug for 48 hours but still have frequent, urgent, runny movements. Would the drug still have this affect on me as I have no other cold or flu symptoms. In other words could the flagyl still be affecting my movements 48 hours out?
MD Hi,
Thanks for your query.

MD After taking 50,000 IU of vitamin D I had severe diarhea for 3 days. It was yellow/orange in color and had a strong fishy odor. I had headaches and abdominal cramping which were all side effects of this vitamin. Now a week later I m still experiencing loose bowels, going at least 3-4 times a day, gas, and now a fishy mucous with traces of blood in it when I have a bowel movement . Prior to that the week before I was on flagyl . Is this from the vitamins or could it be something else. I plan on seeing my doctor as soon as possible.
