Why do i have a really bad taste in my mouth after i take antibiotics?

Bacteria: The oral flora is usually in a state of balance...Taking antibiotics kills certain bacteria, alowing others to step forward (so to speak). When on antibiotics, take probiotics/yogurt to compensate for the disruption in your GI tract, that should help.
