My plan is to only use the car to travel to each new hotel and take taxis to all the attractions. From what I understand once you get out of Delhi city limits it is much better. What is your thoughts with this strategy? My hotel does offer free pick up from train stations so I should probably consider the trains a bit more.
Thank you both for the great comments.
Er - delhi traffic during the rush hour is neither normal nor reasonable. Get a car and driver, a metered radio taxi like olacabs.com or just take the metro (which is great) and autorickshaws from each station to wherever you want to go.
As for antibiotics to treat travelers diarrhea, I would suggest that you stick to oral rehydration powder (electral is a common brand name in India) that you mix with boiled water and keep drinking, and visit a doctor ASAP, get a prescription.
What works for one type of diarrhea won't work for another, and India and other tropical countries have no shortage of diseases that cause loose stools, ranging from rotavirus / viral gastroenteritis and amoebic dysentry have an entirely different set of treatments.
