Antibiotics

Many experts think that antibiotics might be helpful in reducing some signs of Crohn’s disease and other common triggers. For example, the use of metronidazole would help heal fistulas and alleviate drainage. Antibiotics could also kill off and get rid of any harmful or foreign bacteria in the gut or intestine which would lead to infection and inflammation. Make sure to consult your doctors about potential side effects of antibiotics such as paresthesia, gastrointestinal problems, and metallic tastes in the mouth. [5]
