Watery diarrhea: Yes, your watery diarrhea can be caused by amoxicillen. Consult your doctor for reevaluation.

Probably: You probably have antibiotic associated diarrhea due to the amoxicillin. Taking a high dose probiotic like vsl#3 may help. If it worsens notify your md and have your stool tested for clostridium difficile toxin.
