What Causes Severe Pain In Anus While On Amoxicillin For Chest Infection?

Son has been taking amoxicillin for a chest infection. Theast 3 nights he s been crying in pain about a sore bottom. No sign of tear or worms when shining a light. Seems to be fine for a short period after wiping his bottom with toilet paper but then Starts again. Could they be linked? No creams seem to soothe or help him

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Amoxycillin can cause dysbacteriosis and yeast infection in lower gastrointestinal tract and genital area. So your problem can be due to that. Taking probiotics , yogurts, kefir and banana will be helpful for this. Use warm water for washing the anal area. If you have constipation taking stool softeners is also recommended. You can take prunes for this also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
