Dear-thanks for using our service and understand your concern. However, the benefit of the antibiotics balances the side effects. Klebsiella oxymora is a very aggressive organism that can create severe complications if not treated on time with the adequate antibiotics. It can cause severe colitis, Do not worry about that and follow the instructions of the doctor, you will be fine. I hope my advice has been helpful. Chat Doctor.
