A member asked:
Should i have a tooth extracted when i have stomach and diarrhea issues from antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes....If: Yes, you can have the tooth extracted if you are sure the stomach issues are from the antibiotic and not from a virus or bacterial infection. Unfortunatly there is really no way to know this. Contact your doctor and inform them of your stomach issues. They may tell you to stop taking the medication or change your antibiotic in hopes to resolve the issue.

Is there any way to help stop antibiotic associated diarrhea? I was given a short course (1 week) antibiotics and I usually have stomach issues with them. Also I worry about C. Diff and antibiotic resistance. How common is it if it's a short course?
