Daughter was prescribed clindamycin by her dentist after root canales for possible infections after taking it a few days she started having bright green stools and this has her concerned, I suspect it has something to do with the antibiotic but could this become a serious problem.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Diarrhae is most common side effect due to the use of antibiotics prescribed to you during the treatment, that is why an antacid is also prescribed along with it.
Green stool indicates some kind of infection i would suggest you to get an checkup done with a physician.


Take care!
