Could Antibiotics Cause Fever And Foul Smelling Gas In A Toddler?

My toddler has a fever and foul smelling gas. The gas has been going on for a week, since he got off of antibiotics. He was on antibiotics because of a cut on his head, which needed staples. They gave him antibiotics to make sure his cut wouldn t get infected. He s had a fever since last night, about 102, but he s not acting sick or anything.
