Is it normal to have diarrhea while on amoxicillin? can i take anything for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common, not normal: Antibiotic associated diarrhea is pretty common; more serious is c difficile associated colitis, often due to antibiotic use. Call your prescribing doc to notify them, and make adjustments, ranging from eating yogurt, taking probiotics, stopping or changing the meds, or more.
