Have Diarrhea. Taking Amoxicillin For Sinus Infection. Normal?
I have been taking amoxicillin for a sinus infection for the past 4 days now. My sinus infection has cleared but my body seems to not like the amoxicillin pills at all. I have been having diarrheae with watery very yellow stool. Is this normal? Do I need to see a doctor? Should I just take an anti diarrheae OTC pill or should I stop taking the amoxicillin? The bright yellow stool color doesn't seem normal.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The side effects of Amoxycillines are diarrhea and nausea, since you have diarrhea after the use of Amoxy .
2nd point is that accrding to you your's sinus infection had cured , so no need of any Amoxy.
When you will stop Amoxy with 2-3 days your's diarrhea will stop.
Until this you have to use lukewarm water with rice , curd, and few hard type bananas.
With above mentioned diet you will get relief from all your problems.
Good luck . Dr. HET
