A member asked:

Prescribed amoxicillin/k clac 875mg 2x/day for resp. infection. day 2/pill 4, experiencing very watery stool, 3x day. when should this normalize?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several days: It is not uncommon to have diarrhea when taking antibiotics. Taking a probiotic or even eating yogurt can help with this. If symptoms continue past 10 days, you should be checked for a more serious infection of the colon, sometimes caused by antibiotics.
