The patient should stop taking the cephalosporin and start taking metronidazole as the proper course of treatment.

<h3>What intestinal infection is the most typical?</h3>

While bacteria and parasites are also significant causes of acute and chronic gastrointestinal illnesses, as well as their aftereffects, the majority of instances are brought on by viruses, with norovirus being the most prevalent.

The majority of hospitalizations and fatalities due to Salmonella in the US are caused by nontyphoidal species.

<h3>What symptoms indicate a subsequent infection?</h3>
  • The term "secondary" typically denotes symptoms that are more severe and/or persistent.
  • Fever often rises and lasts longer with secondary bacterial infections than with primary ones.
  • While ear pain suggests an ear infection, a runny nose that lasts for more than a few weeks may be a sign of sinusitis.
