Suggest Treatment To Cure Amoxicillian Side Effects

I was given amoxicillian by a dentist for a tooth infection, it caused severe cramps diarrhea and a ton of mucous in my stool. Its been 5 days since I stopped taking it but the problem still persists. Anything I can do or take or do I just need to ride this out?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of severe diarrhea, cramps, and mucous discharge in stools seems to be due to Amoxicillin intake and comes under antibiotic induced diarrhea..
As it is already 5 days passed when you stopped taking antibiotics and still the symptoms are severe, you should consult your treating physician and get evaluated..
He can advise you to take anti diarrhea drugs like Loperamide..
You should also take fluid replacement therapy like plenty of fluids and Oral Rehydration Solution to replenish electrolyte and water loss..
You should take semisolid diet and add more of bananas, rice, cereals and Probiotics like Yoghurt in diet..
You should avoid spicy and fatty foods..
Eat every after 2 hours.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
