Coughing up or throwing up blood is not normal in anyway shape or form! I agree with Roy you need to either get him back to the dr or to the ER ASAP!

I hope your son-in-law is alright. I agree with the other folks here who say he really should go to the ER.

I just thought I'd put in my (dad's) 2 cents in regards to antibios and C.diff. Since July he has been on and off Cipro for pneumonia and UTIs...but with his last UTI, the dr. gave him Bactrim--didn't even give him probiotics--and now we are at 2 negs.

My mom caught C.diff and passed away, as some of you know. SHE had been on Penicillin VK for an infected tooth when she ended up in the hospital with a broken hip and shoulder.

Thanks to everyone. He has improved greatly so I guess the flagyl is doing something but still unsure what the problem is. No more B. thank God! He goes in next week for lots of testing.
