Brief Answer:
Consult dentist and go for xray and take medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As far as tooth infection is concerned this can be due to Periodontal (gums) problem or due to caries.(periapical infection). As you are taking antibiotics for it and you are still feeling awful. I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and radiograph of tooth to get proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
In the meantime, I will suggest you to take medicine like Cap. Amoxicillin CV with metronidazole twice daily and one table Analgesic like ketrol Dt or Ibugesic plus twice daily along with multivitamin once daily by consulting with local doctor.
Hope this will help. If you have further query I will be happy to help.

Dr. Priyanka Tiwari

Hello,
Yes, diarrhea could be due to medication. As you have taken course of antibiotics so don't take so much of medicines now. I will suggest you to take fluid intake more. Electrol and fruit juices.
