Hello,
It is the medicines causing the change the color of stool, and other sign but it is nothing to worry because short term treatment may not cause the severe symptoms, the bleeding while brushing the tooth may happen in normal subject and here in your case it is not due to the medicine, (Bleeding gums should not happen without brushing the tooth) finish the course of medicines and everything will be gone, no need to worry about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
