Hello,

As per your query, your son having symptoms of stomach ache and diarrhea after tooth extraction which seems to be side effects of antibiotics administered and electrolyte imbalance in body.

I would suggest you not to panic at all. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Take probiotics in diet. Visit general physician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined.

You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well.

You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should start treatment with combination of Fluoroquinolones and Ornidazole drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
