Q. My diarrhea won't stop after taking antibiotics.

A.

This is because antibiotics eliminate not only harmful bacteria but also beneficial gut bacteria (a condition known as antibiotic-associated diarrhea). In severe cases, toxin-producing superbugs may proliferate.

📝 Detailed Answer

항생제는 장내 세균 숲에 핵폭탄을 떨어뜨리는 것과 같습니다.

무주공산이 된 장에 나쁜 균들이 기하급수적으로 늘어나 설사를 일으킵니다. 항생제 복용 중에는 평소보다 유산균(프로바이오틱스)을 2배 더 신경 써서 챙겨 드셔야 합니다.
