  • Maintaining good hygiene is essential.
  • Have more fibre-enriched food in your diet. Fibre is easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
  • After taking the full course of levofloxacin, probiotics should be taken to restore healthy bacteria that could have been destroyed in the intestines. Probiotics can minimise the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
