I just got my tooth extracted 3 days ago. I am taking painkillers and antibiotics for it. But after a day I experienced diarrhea . I have observed that there is some weird liquid coming out from the portion where my teeth is extracted. Please help me Doc. I want to know what is the problem with me and what I will do to e well. Here is my email
Hi there, Most likely you could be having antibiotic associated diarrhea. Antibiotics sometimes mess with the normal good bacteria that exists in our intestines and cause diarrhea. You could take VINYL (lactic acid bacillus), one capsule 2 times a day. This might help bring down the diarrhea. Preferably take the medications after food unless your doctor has specified that it has to be taken before food. The liquid discharge should come down in another 2-3 days, once the course of antibiotics gets over. In case it is persisting after 3 days, please visit your dentist. Rely Chat Doctor.
