Something from one of the guys and the amoxicillin is reacting to that or is this a side effect from the gum infection?

What???: I know you are concerned;however, i truly don't know either 1)what is your difficulty-the ''something'' nor 2) what ''that '' is. Please have a serious 1 on 1 with your physician. I am concerned about you: guys, amoxicillin, gum infection just doesn't good.
