Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The loose bowels and stomach upset could be because of the antibiotics what you have taken after tooth extraction. Nothing to worry once you stop the medicines it will come down. For the loose motion you can take loperamide capsule once in a day.
If the symptoms does not subside then consult a general physician. Consume lot of liquid. Do not eat spicy food. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
