I could not finish the antibiotics that I was prescribed because they were making me very sick. Now I am worried about a few things i have read..... some say that "Superbugs" could form because the only bacteria left was the super strong bacteria that the medicine hadn't been able to break down completely..... Is that true?
Im just scared that I made the problem worse by not fininshing my medicine! I stopped taking the anitbiotic 2 days early! I understand that the problem will still be there, but will it be worse. Are there any herbal remedies for it so that I will not have to deal with the reactions from the medicine.?

Ok. First of all calm down. Take a deep breath. You are going to be fine!!
It is true that sometimes there are strains of a bacteria that are more resistant to the antibiotics, which is why they tell you to take them for 10 days, just to make sure that you got all of the ones infecting you.
However, that is not always the case. With some bacterial infections 7 or 8 days of an antibiotic is more than enough.
Dont worry about having made the problem worse. If you feel ok, then just give it a week or two. If you continue to feel ok, then you probably killed what was infecting you. Worst case scenario, you start feeling yucky again, go back to the doctor, tell them the Metronidazole made you sick, and they will prescribe something else.

You need to call your doctor and get a different drug. Your actions are what created superbugs in the first place. There are no herbal remedies for bacterial infections.
