GI changes: Diarrhea is a not uncommon side effect of some antibiotics, which are prescribed to limit the severity and spread of infection. Please discuss your issues with your prescribing Dentist as your symptoms may require a change in the timing of the dental treatment that will be required to sure your infection (pills alone won't do it), or a change in antibiotic.
