A member asked:

I have a bit of yellow in tongue and eyes i also have a bad gas. could this be a sign of good bacteria being killed after round of antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: It sounds as if you just finished a round of antibiotics? Generally, yellow eyes and tongue are a sign of a medical condition called jaundice. Jaundince has many causes but is not uncommonly associated with antibiotics, even amoxicillin. See your doctor for a proper evaluation.
