A member asked:
I have taken antibiotics for 3 weeks for dental infection, and having diarrhea since using it, also i am late in period+3 , can i take probiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Antibiotics will not heal a dental infection, they will only help control the symptoms. 3 weeks is too long to remain on antibiotics. You need to have the infection treated. See your dentist.
