Diarrhea after appendicitis surgery can be treated with norfloxacin if it is caused by a bacterial infection and if you are not allergic to fluoroquinolones.
There are many causes of diarrhea after appendicitis surgery. If the diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection, especially gram-negative bacillus infection, you can take norfloxacin. Norfloxacin has a stronger effect on Gram-negative bacilli and appendicitis surgery is not a contraindication to taking Norfloxacin, so you can take it.
If the cause of diarrhea after appendicitis surgery is unknown, it is not recommended to use antibacterial drugs blindly, you can use the appropriate drugs under the guidance of the doctor after clarifying the cause of the disease.
It should also be noted that moderate and severe photosensitivity reactions may occur after taking Norfloxacin, and the drug needs to be stopped promptly if it occurs. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency patients may induce hemolysis. Patients with impaired hepatic or renal function should take the drug under medical supervision.
It is recommended to seek medical advice in case of discomfort, use the medication under the guidance of a doctor, follow the doctor’s instructions and avoid self-medication.
