Suggest Remedy For Diarrhoea After A Tooth Extraction

I had a tooth with an abscess extracted recently. I was put onto Amoxycillan/Clavulanic 875/125 tablets but ever since I have felt unwell. I have experienced severe diarrhea over the last two days and noticed rice like objects in among the runny stools, what are they? What could be wrong?

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain diarrhoea after tooth extraction is due to a side effect of antibiotics as it can disturb the good bacteria present in intestine and can disturb the complex functioning of the intestines leading to loose motions or diarrhoea..
Nothing to worry as the intake of antibiotics will stop the diarrhoea will improve..
As of now you can take anti- diarrhoea medicines containing Furazolidone and take ample of fluids to prevent dehydration..
Take rehydration solution to cover for electrolyte loss..
Tale proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole empty stomach in morning..

Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
