A member asked:
I am recently taking co-amoxiclav for my infection. despite me using it several times before, now i got diarrhea from it. should i still continue taking it? i have only eaten some wafer sticks before taking the antibiotic, should i eat more?

Antibiotics will kill both harmful and helpful bacteria. That can result in diarrhea. Should always be taken for at least 5 days. Do not discontinue before discussing with your Physician or Dentist. Antibiotic will not cure a dental infection, only control it until yo have the infected tooth treated.
