Hi
Amoxicillin does not cause frequent urination. However as you mentioned 'runny tummy', it can cause diarrhea in a small number of patients. Do not be stressed. There can be some other reason for your frequent urination. As your urine report is normal, it rules out urinary tract infection. If it is really troublesome, get a blood sugar fasting & random tests done and then show to a medical specialist if the report is abnormal.
Have a good day!
