Question 1

Yes: Should not be a problem.  Take amoxicillin as directed by your dentist.

Question 2

i have gastritis can amoxicillin give me bad stomach pains i had a sinus infection so they gave me this? and if so is there anything else i can take?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics may help : Alcohol and tobacco use , will not help your gastritis and should be discontinued. The gastritis is the more likely cause of your symptoms but Amoxicillin (especially hen combined with clavulonaged) can alter your gastrointestinal flora causing upset and diarrhea. Probiotics may help in this case.

Question 3

i have a tooth infection amoxicillin his upsetting my stomach and i have crohns disease can bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) be used instead?

Prescriber: Speak to the dentist who prescribed the amoxicillin. Different antibiotics treat different bacteria, and Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is normally not used for dental infections.

Question 8

can drinking or smoking complicate a stomach infection?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis: Irritants to stomach can exacerbate infection & inflammation. Alcohol & nicotine are just few of those.

Question 9

what should i eat when i have stomach infection?

Accepted Answer

You should not eat: any thing hard to digest such as fried oily fatty foods, dairy products, too much roughage such as green leafy vegetables, or red meats.  I would stick with broth and lots of liquids that have electrolytes, such as Gatorade/ Powerade, Pedialyte, or coconut water (not coconut milk).  And thanks for trusting in Healthtap.

Question 10

what causes stomach infection and how is this treated?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: The most frequent cause is helicobacter pylori, which is a common cause of ulcer disease and can lead to cancer.  There are many other organisms that can cause infection in the stomach, if you are using the term correctly.  Stomach refers to a specific part of the GI tract.  If you are using this word to describe the abdomen (which is common), there are many more bugs possible.
