  • Try taking yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and kimchi that help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet that is easily digested by your gut bacteria. Fibre foods may also help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. 
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. 
  • Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria occur in three basic shapes: spherical, rod and spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have a thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have a cell wall). Some common symptoms of a bacterial infection include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, fatigue, and tiredness. Untreated bacterial infections may lead to serious life-threatening conditions like sepsis.
