A member asked:

Can i get diarrhea from a toothache?

Unusual: Probably coincidental. But toothache is an infection that required immediate treatment. Don't wait, go now.

Not typical: A toothache will not cause diarrhea. Some pain medications or antibiotics used to treat the infection may do this. If you think it is the medication then call the prescribing dentist.
