Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Dear Deb, right now the cipro is helping. It was the flagel that made him sick. I hope he tolerates the cipro well because he needs to be on it 3 weeks or longer. He had a much better night as far as his bowels go but now was kept up by an itchy rash in the crease of his leg in the groin area. This rash has been there for a few days so it isn't from the cipro and it only started bothering him by itching yesterday.
